《Different World along with One Piece System》 Chapter 1 - Birth of Yan D. Yu Seated at his computer screen was a teenage boy who seemed to be around seventeen years of age. His skin was brown, and he clearly had little hair on his head because of his buzz cut. If one could only see the hearts in his eyes as he watched the new episode of One Piece. ¡®Boa, if I were Luffy you would definitely be my queen.¡¯ His room was filled with trash, showing it hadn¡¯t been cleaned in a while. There was this slight odor that lingered around. At the bottom right of his computer screen, the time was 11:19 PM, and he just finished rewatching all his favorite episodes of One Piece. It took him a while, but he finally finished it. Not to brag or anything, but he knew he watched every episode at least twenty times. That was only in this year, not including the past ones and the ones to come. In his heart, he knew that he was the number one fan. Not even Eiichiro Oda himself could claim to out do him. However, he always had this bitter feeling in his heart. Although he was the number one fan, just like everyone else he couldn¡¯t accept what happened to One Piece. Eiichiro Oda disappeared one day, and One Piece never got completed. It wasn¡¯t like he was in an accident or anything. It was that he disappeared. Not even his wife knew what happened to him, let alone the editors. The fans were outraged and wanted to see how the story would end. The manga wasn¡¯t even close to being finished! There was still territory that was left unexplored, and characters left alone. However no matter what happened, they only released twenty more chapters after his disappearance. Since then, it has already been five years. One Piece¡¯s fan slowly died down, but it was still in the top fifty. Rumors were being spread on the forums about his sudden disappearance. However he knew that you can¡¯t believe in rumors. He sighed as he spun around in his chair and made a kissy face. Imagining Boa Hancock in front of him, he smothered her with love and affection. After a moment, he finally calmed down and shut his computer off while making his way over to his bed. There were clothes all around the bed, but on it was only a blanket and a hug pillow. Naturally it was a Boa hug pillow, no other woman could come close. He cuddled Boa like he would a real woman. ¡°Boa, you love me right?¡± ¡°Yes Chris, you¡¯re my pirate king!¡± He tried to intimate her voice as best as he could, but it would be better to listen to a broken record instead. He smiled and laughed as he kissed her lips and rolled around on the bed. His bed was next to the window which was open at that moment. Chris was all sweaty as his t-shirt clung to his chest. His breathing was rough, and Boa was laying next to him. Under the blanket, movement could be seen as something kept going up and down. Chris started mumbling some words softly. ¡°Boa, right there¡­ yea¡­ don¡¯t stop.¡± God knows what he was imagining at that moment, but the movement under the blanket sped up. Chris¡¯ eyes were closed as body jerked slightly as he felt pure pleasure surging through his body. Opening his eyes, far away out the window there was something bright. There were many stars in the sky, but this one beat them all. He noticed a streak of light behind the star as it flew by. ¡®Shooting star!¡¯ Closing his eyes, he made his wish. It was childish, and he knew it, but hey, everyone has to live once to their fullest. Chris was overtaken by the sudden urge to fall asleep. Was it because he already knocked one out? Maybe his body was exhausted from the marathon of watching all his favorite episodes. Whatever it was, his eyelids slowly closed. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ BlueMoon Continent is ruled by Empress Zhang. In the southern part of the Continent, there was a small island that people hardly ever visited. It was home to some mid tier magical beast, and a few high tier ones. The reason people hardly visited here was because it was so far away from most cultivators. The ones that were close to this island happened to be the ones on the low spectrum of the world, they would hardly advance. On this island was exactly where Chris had arrived. He didn¡¯t know how, but he arrived here. The last thing he remembered was going to sleep, now he is leaning against a tree in the middle of nowhere. ¡°Damn, reincarnation is real? Those novel authors wouldn¡¯t believe it if I told them this!¡± Chris was excited, never would he thought a day like this would come up. He glanced over his body, and memories started surging through his head. Naturally his name was Chris, instead it was Yan Yu. He was a servant of a noble in the village not far from this island. His mother was sold as a slave when she was young and a few years later he was born. The household he was in was home to the Le clan, which was one of the five noble clans in Shing City. He basically had the run down of things, his mother was forced to have sex with the clan master and later on he popped out. The wife didn¡¯t like his mother, so she always made her do horrible jobs. Him being the bastard child wasn¡¯t given any privileges, and worked as a servant since he could talk. Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. The only reason he was still around in that clan was because his mother was still there, however now that she died. They dumped him here on this island without any food or water. He was already starving for the past few days, and ended up dying in his sleep. ¡°Pitiful¡­ well now you have me to take over!¡± Chris pounded his chest as he smiled. His skin color was light brown like his mother''s, but he already knew he inherited his dad''s black hair and green eyes. Chris clicked his tongue. ¡°Lucky bastard, you¡¯re fucking handsome. How do they say it in those novels¡­ right. Let I, your father show you how to sleep with babes!¡± The only sad part about it was that Yan Yu was all skin and bones, he didn¡¯t have any muscles on his body. His stomach growled for food and Chris knew he would just die if he didn¡¯t eat anything soon. How could he die when he just arrived? A metallic ding noise was heard in his head. ¡°Requirements met, granted One Piece system to host Yan Yu¡­¡± ¡°What the heck is this? Tell I, your father what the hell is going on here?¡± Chris started glancing around while talking out loud. ¡°Yan Yu, I am the admin for the One Piece system. As long as you close your eyes, you¡¯ll be able to see what i¡¯m talking about.¡± A reply came out. ¡°Let I, your father see what you¡¯re talking about!¡± Chris closed his eyes, and picture of a devil fruit along with a search bar. Instead of the usual search bar, it had special words on it. ¡®Only One Piece items¡¯. ¡°My god, I must be dreaming.¡± ¡°Yan Yu, this isn¡¯t a dream. You can pick any item from the One Piece world and it¡¯ll become yours. Of course for a price.¡± The admin replied. ¡°Quickly tell your father what this store holds!¡± ¡°Devil Fruits, Weapons, Sword styles, Haki, Awakening, Abilities, Clothing, Ships, and Bounty Missions.¡± The admin replied back to him. ¡°Oh my god, this can¡¯t be real. Tell me, how do I get any of this? What price needs to be paid? My soul, your father, I give it to you! Quickly now, give me a devil fruit!¡± Chris couldn¡¯t wait to get his hands on one of these bad boys. Although he wouldn¡¯t be able to swim, he figured he would be able to dominate the cultivation world with them. Maybe he would be like Blackbeard and be able to hold two different types of Devil fruit in his body. ¡°Yan Yu, just say browse Devil Fruits, and you¡¯ll see a list of devil fruits for sale. However, your soul isn¡¯t required. We just require the essence of magical beast, the better the magical beast core you give, the more points you¡¯ll gain.¡± ¡°Browse Devil Fruits!¡± Chris couldn¡¯t hold back his excitement! This is what he dreamed of. Being the top cultivator? Those pieces of trash would bow down to him, he would become king of the pirates! From his knowledge, he already knew that pirating existed in this world. The only thing was that there weren¡¯t that many people who were pirates. Those that were naturally didn¡¯t cultivate and only pillaged small time villages for gold, wine, and women. He would make it his goal to show them how great a real pirate can be! After he said those words, a list of different Devil Fruits popped up. There description, name, and what kind of ability he would gain if he ate it. In One Piece, Chris only had two main characters he liked. One was Ace, and the other was Marco. He couldn¡¯t choose between which Devil Fruit he should pick. Chris noticed that the cost off all these Devil Fruits were none. Wouldn¡¯t that mean he could claim them all? First he picked out the Mera Mera no Mi Devil Fruit. Ace was his favorite out of the two characters, so he had to pick his Devil Fruit first. However, once he picked the Devil Fruit, a price tag appeared for all the others. Each one had a price of 500000 points! Your mother can farm me these points! ¡°Congratulations Yan Yu. Your first purchase was free, however everything else now cost. Make sure you browse around and see what you like. I¡¯ll still be around, but won¡¯t talk much. If you need me, you know where to find me.¡± Chris sighed, his goal of claiming all the Devil Fruits went to waste. He should have known it was too good to be true. As he opened his eyes, an orange fruit was in front of his eyes. He knew exactly what this was. Even though it was floating in the air, he didn¡¯t care! His hands were swift as he grabbed the fruit and started munching on it. It left a bitter taste in his mouth, but he knew he had to get past it. It didn¡¯t even take Chris twenty seconds to finish that fruit. He felt full, too full. Like his stomach was about to burst. His light brown skin started to look cleaner as if it was shining. He could tell that his body was a tad bit stronger than it use to be. Even though Yan Yu never cultivated before, thanks to the Mera Mera no Mi, his body was enhanced! Chris stood up and whipped himself off. He was still wearing his black servant clothing, which consisted of a black top and black bottom. ¡°I your father shall now be known as Yan D. Yu!¡± He shouted out loud. Chapter 2 - Ill also become the greatest swordsman! Yan D. Yu was seated on the ground with his eyes closed. Naturally he was browsing through the One Piece system that he just got. To his surprise he could actually gain and use another devil fruit like blackbeard. However, it was an ability called ¡®Twin Usage¡¯ that costed him 250000 points. There was another ability called Custom which costed as much as one Devil Fruit. At first Yan D. Yu was outraged, going as far as saying I your father have am being cheated! After a careful read, he found that he wasn¡¯t being cheated. ¡®Custom¡¯ gave him the ability to fuse together two Devil Fruits with similar attributes, to make his own Devil Fruit. This was perfect for him, as now he would fuse together the Mera Mera no Mi and the Pera Ni Lu Jo. It was the name given by the system for that Devil Fruit, so Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t question it. He couldn¡¯t wait to see what it would be like to combine both of them into one. The sad thing was that before he could combine both of them, he needed to eat both. The only way he could eat both without dying would be if he brought Twin Usage! The price to be the best really was an outrage! The system had all the Haki, except they were broken down into different levels. There were a total of five levels for all three Haki, and each one was at least double of what it costed previously! For such a great cheat, the price that needed to be paid was an outrage! This made Yan D. Yu cough blood just looking at it. He didn¡¯t even dare look at the prices for Awakenings, considering that they were just introduced in the manga before Eiichiro Oda disappeared. If they were so powerful, then he already knew that it would cost way more than his soul. What cost the lowest amount of points were the ships, clothing, weapons and weapon styles. As he closed the system and opened his eyes, Yan D. Yu knew he had a long journey ahead of him. This was only the first step of his into becoming the King of the Pirates. Yan D. Yu stretched his arms and yawned as he stood up from his seated position. ¡°Lets try this out!¡± He pumped himself up. Both his feet were planted on the ground firmly as his hands were locked to his side. Thumb pointed up, with his index finger and middle finger pointed out. This was one of Ace¡¯s moves, Fire Pistol. As he was all set, Yan D. Yu felt something burst out of his fingers at a lightning fast pace. Two small condensed pellets of fire shot out of his fingers and smashed against a tree. The tree went up into flames instantly. The fire spread to the surrounding trees. ¡°Shit, I your father should have been more careful!¡± Yan D. Yu was so excited he didn¡¯t realize that he could cause a fire. Well it¡¯s too late now. Fire wouldn¡¯t harm him since he was in full control of the fire element, so he wasn¡¯t scared. However, all the trees would be burned to a crisp. Shrugging his shoulders, he decided to try another move. If the forest was going to catch on fire, he might as well help it spread faster while practicing. This time Yan D. Yu¡¯s arm was pulled back and his fist tightly balled up. A scorching hot flame emerged and spread out like it wanted to escape his hand. ¡®This shit is hot!¡¯ Even though he knew it was his imagination, just seeing that blazing fire his hand made him realize how powerful fire could be. He knew that the longer he charged up his flames the greater the output would be, thus he held it for a bit. As he threw his fist forward, the energy within him flew out. He couldn¡¯t help but yell, ¡°Fire Fist!¡± A long streak of red fire gushed out of his hands and flew in a straight line. He didn¡¯t know where it stopped, but whatever was in it¡¯s path surely got burned to ashes. All the tree¡¯s that his ¡®Fire Fist¡¯ hit were burned to ash, and even the grass on the ground could no longer be seen. In his view was an open pathway, with a wonderful view. The few trees that didn¡¯t turn to ash had caught on fire. Yan D. Yu felt tired, as if all the energy in his body had been drained. He was full earlier, but now he was starving! ¡°No wonder those guys ate so much!¡± Yan D. Yu was only thirteen. He still had a long time before he would set out on his adventure. Even if he wanted to join one of those high end sects, he would still need to gain more power. He knew that thanks to Ace¡¯s Devil Fruit, normal physical attacks would no longer hurt him. However in those novels he read, and his current knowledge these cultivators had more to them than just normal attacks. Thanks to the fire, he would be able to lure out more magical beast. With them out in the open, he figured as long as he got one good shot in he could kill them. How hard could it be? The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. Yan D. Yu walked in the path where he launched his fire fist. The ground was burnt, and there were no trees in his path. He was sure that he at least killed something with that attack. It didn¡¯t take him long either as he spotted a group of magical beast cores lying on the ground. ¡°I your father burnt their body to ash? Fuck, what am I supposed to eat?¡± Yan D. Yu was upset. He was hoping that the beast body would at least be cooked for him, instead nothing remained. The only thing that was left was it¡¯s core. Yan Yu¡¯s father was a cultivator so he had seen these in his past. He knew that nothing could break or melt these things. There were six cores on the ground, so he killed six magical beast with that attack. At least, in his one minute of walking all he spotted were these six cores. As he picked it up, a voice in his head asked if he would like to sell these cores to the system. He of course said yes. As he continued to walk forward, he stumbled across more cores. Naturally he sold them to the system, the more he sold, the more points he would gain! This was like stealing candy from a baby. Soon he stumbled to the edge of the island, and found a giant bear that smelled delicious. He couldn¡¯t make out what it was, nor what kind of cultivation level it was at. However he would make a meal out of it! There was only one problem, he didn¡¯t have anyway to cut it¡¯s meat. Sure it was dead, and sure it was cooked from his flames. However, how the hell is he suppose to cut it! Yan D. Yu closed his eyes, as the One Piece system came into view. He jumped for joy when he noticed how many points he had. It was 20000 points. He hurried over to the weapon shop and brought Wado Ichimonji for 5000 points. Sure it costed a lot, but this sword would last him a lifetime! Even through all of Zoro¡¯s fight, this sword has never let him down. He thought about buying Mihawks Yoru, but that costed twice as much as the Wado Ichimonji. Once he gained the sword, the next thing he did was go to the abilities section and brought swordsman mastery for 100 points. Sword styles was next, currently he had three options. Tagashi, Zoro, or Mihawk. He knew of their style¡¯s the most thus and he was confident in using them in this world. He only needed one style. Zoro is best known for his three sword style, but Yan D. Yu doubted he would ever carry three swords. At most, he may carry two, but carrying one was all he needed at the moment. Mihawk¡¯s style may be strong, but it costed too much. It was 10000 points just to learn the style! Takashi''s was 5000 points, but out of the three it was weaker. ¡°Fuck it, I your father will also become the greatest swordsman!¡± Yan D. Yu announced as he brought Mihawks sword style. He felt his body was engraved with different techniques, and that if he held a sword right now it would become a part of him. Lastly, he brought Devil Fruit consumption, and energy converter from the ability. Devil fruit consumption made him use less energy while using his Devil fruit skills, and energy converter gave him a high energy boost whenever he eats food. This left him with only 200 points left, but he didn¡¯t buy anything else. Opening his eyes, Yan D. Yu was greeted by a white sheath. Yan D. Yu grabbed it slowly as his hands trembled. ¡°The sword Zoro had, I your father, shall make it the greatest!¡± He announced as tears streamed down his face. Sadly, its first taste of blood wasn¡¯t going to be a swordsman. It was going to be the corpse of a beast! Thanks to his swordsman ability, he knew how to wield, take care of, and properly use a sword. With Mihawks sword style, he knew every move that Mihawk had, and the way to draw out it¡¯s maximum potential. These things however meant nothing at this moment, as Yan D. Yu unsheathed the sword and cut apart the giant bear. It¡¯s meant was at least cooked, and juice was flowing out of it. He couldn¡¯t hold back and took a giant bite out of it. He wasn¡¯t going to lie, the taste sucked. It was probably one of the worst things that he ever put in his mouth, but it was food. After he finished eating, he turned around and noticed half the forest was on fire. ¡°Who¡¯s the idiot that set the forest on fire?¡± He asked as he shook his head. ¡°The Le clan wants I your father to perish? Ha, just you wait. I¡¯ll come back after I train here, and destroy you all!¡± ¡®No matter how long it takes, until I polish my skills and hunt down every single magical beast on this island, I will not leave!¡¯ Yan D. Yu vowed to himself. Chapter 3 - Strange Flame ¡°Today, you die! I¡¯ve challenged you two times and almost lost my life both times, but today is my day for revenge! Great Ape, if I can¡¯t kill you today, I don¡¯t deserve to be King of the Pirates!¡± Yan D. Yu announced as he stood in front of a five meter tall red haired ape. He has changed a lot during the time he first arrived in this world. His hair grew longer, but he cut it down to neck length. When it first reached his back, he thought that he would attract all the women with his good looks. However, fighting with it was another thing. It swayed all over the place and got in his way, thus he cut it. Although his hair wasn¡¯t completely flat, the disheveled look fitted his face perfectly. In fact, the way his hair looked matched perfectly with his light brown skin tone. His face has been chiseled as he is more manly than before. Yan D. Yu was wearing Ace¡¯s signature outfit, but instead of a knife at his side he had the Wado Ichimonji. His orange hat was behind his neck being held up by the strings around his neck. His body was toned as one could easily make out his six pack abs. He was wearing some black shoes, that made his feet feel cozy. Yan D. Yu¡¯s body burst with flames as he flew towards the giant ape. The first time he fought this magical beast, he surprised it with his flame body. However, now that it fought with Yan D. Yu two times already, it wouldn¡¯t fall for the same trick again. Swinging it¡¯s huge fist, blue lightning appeared. Yan. D Yu took a hit from that in the past and he almost died, however now is a different story! His hands turned black like dark metal. His fist erupted with flames as he swung his fist forward. Yan D. Yu and the giant apes fist both collided making a large boom as the wind was swept away. Not wasting any time, his body blurred as he disappeared from sight. Thanks to all his training, his speed was enhanced dramatically. There was no way the him when he first arrived could compare to the him right now. His own mother wouldn¡¯t be able to tell the difference! His foot lashed out as he kicked the giant ape in the head. It stumbled backwards two steps, but Yan D. Yu was already on the ground. His body was bent down with both of his hands on the ground. A ring of fire encircled the giant ape as Yan D. Yu sneered. ¡°Flame Pillar!¡± He yelled out watching the ring of fire erupt like a volcano. Fire shot straight up into the air as the giant ape was caught in the middle of it. Roar! The beast roared loudly as it stomped its foot and beats its chest dispersing all the flames. Yan D. Yu thought it would be over with that, but he was wrong. ¡°I guess I have no choice! Taste my ultimate move.¡± His body caught on fire as he raised his hand in the air. Floating above his hand was a red ball of pure fire. It was as huge as Cooler¡¯s Supernova from Dragon ball Z. This was Ace¡¯s finisher, Flame Commandment! ¡°Flame Commandment!¡± Yan D. Yu shouted out as he hurled the huge ball of fire at the giant ape. It didn¡¯t have a lot of range, but the power was immense. Yan D. Yu felt his body being drained of almost all his energy, he could not throw out another one of these. The best he could do would be a fully charged fire fist. It seemed as if the giant ape¡¯s feet was glued down to the ground as it was unable to move an inch. Throwing out another lightning punch at the ball of fire, it roared. The roar didn¡¯t last long because as soon as the ball of fire connected, the ape was a goner. Its body could no longer be seen as a giant hole appeared in the ground. The ground was charred black and you could still hear the sizzling. Yan D. Yu laughed. ¡°I am Victorious! Three years, it took this daddy three years but i¡¯ve slain every beast there was on this island!¡± His body once again blurred as he grabbed the huge magical beast core that was falling towards the ground. It suddenly disappeared from his hands as he sold it to the system. During this time, he can¡¯t even count how many points he had gained. He¡¯s brought so much from the system that if he was a One Piece character, he would surely be ranked one in the worst generation. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. As he closed his eyes he finally had enough points to start his adventure. During these three years, he has mastered Mihawk''s sword style to perfection. Ace¡¯s combat style and moves were learned. His body was strengthened, and he felt great. Yan D. Yu had already brought more abilities that he feared he should have. Since he didn¡¯t have a pirate crew yet, he had to take up all the roles himself. He also learned that not everything needed to be brought with the system. Sabo¡¯s dragon claw could be learned through training. Actually, everything could be learned. The only thing that couldn¡¯t were Devil Fruit powers. But who would waste time learning when you can gain it with enough points? The only thing one needed to do was polish their skills and they¡¯ll be set to go. Last year Yan D. Yu brought ¡®Twin Usage¡¯ and ¡®Custom¡¯. Now, he has enough points for another Devil Fruit with enough points left over for anything else he needs. Closing his eyes, he quickly brought the Pera Ni Lu Jo Devil Fruit. Strangely enough, the fruit looked like Ace¡¯s except it was blue with golden lining. He ate it and felt the power surging through his body. Ace and Marco, together in one body. The two highest ranking commanders of the whitebeard pirates! Yan D. Yu never thought this day would come so soon. ¡°Two Devil Fruits with similar attributes have been found. Would you like to fuse them together?¡± A voice asked him. ¡°Hurry up, don¡¯t keep me waiting.¡± ¡°Fusion Complete, please name your name Devil Fruit.¡± ¡°Chris no Pera Mera!¡± Two Devil Fruits being fused together gave him a strange sensation. He didn¡¯t feel a surge of strength coursing through his body, instead if felt as if everything has been refined. Ace had a Logia type devil fruit, but Marco had a Mythical Zoan type. These two are different, but they both had flames which is why he was able to combine them. Yan D. Yu wondered what it would be like with these two types of flames in his body. Phoenix flames had the ability to allow him to absorb fire and heal himself. Not to mention being a Zoan type allowed him to transform. Flying was one of Marco¡¯s signatures that no One Piece fan could forget. His arms turned into Phoenix wings as it allowed him to soar in the air. He could also control his body to allow any part to transform. The flames were already powerful, but added with Ace¡¯s he was sure that Akainu himself would fall before his hands! Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t wait anymore. He stretched out his hand and a purple colored flame appeared. It didn¡¯t give him the feeling of being scorching hot like Ace¡¯s Devil Fruit did. He didn¡¯t waste time to try out Marco¡¯s flying, but from what he saw in the anime this flame was exactly like his either. It was actually strange. Pulling his fist back, he charged up is Fire Fist. Like an uppercut, his fist moved towards the sky. ¡°Fire Fist!¡± This was strange, normally a blast of flame would shoot out of his hand. Although it was fire that came out, it was in the form of a purple Phoenix. Screeching, it soared in the air but soon dissipated. Yan D. Yu¡¯s eyes were wide open almost falling out from his sockets. He couldn¡¯t believe it, a Phoenix came out of his fist. A freaking Phoenix! Does that mean that Ace¡¯s Devil Fruit powered up Marco¡¯s? He couldn¡¯t tell the power of his attack since he didn¡¯t have anything to test it on, but he knew it had to be on a whole new level. Just that attack allow made his body feel drained of all his energy. He had to be careful when using his Devil Fruit powers. At least until he¡¯s gotten better control over the output. ¡°Guess it¡¯s time to leave.¡± Chapter 4 - During those three years It¡¯s been three years since he arrived in this world. He could have left this island as soon as he ate Ace¡¯s Devil Fruit, but instead he decided to train. If he didn¡¯t have full control over his powers, then he would still be weak! Thanks to Yan Yu¡¯s memories, he knew that the strong dominated the weak here. Like the law of the jungle, it¡¯s survival of the fittest. This body of his hasn¡¯t cultivated like the others, however he didn¡¯t mind that. At least he knew that he was able to cultivate the strange energy in this world. However he couldn¡¯t, because he didn¡¯t have the skill or know how to do so. The only thing he could do was sense that there was something around him, yet he couldn¡¯t grasp it yet. His first year here, he spent most of his time practicing his swordsmanship. Improving bit by bit, his skills slowly advanced. Mihawk¡¯s skills were now like his own, his movements were sharp using the least amount of strength needed. During this year, he made a few purchases of different abilities. Already having Swordsmanship, Devil Fruit consumption, Energy converter, he brought Navigation, and Nursing. For some reason, when he tried to buy more the admin told him he needed to advance the system. Thus he could only had those five abilities. There¡¯s a problem with that, he doesn¡¯t know how to advance the system! Naturally he already knew his goal was to buy another Devil Fruit, so he spent the least amount of points on those skills. He could upgrade them to the next tier with more points, but Yan D. Yu wasn¡¯t looking to be some genius doctor or a master navigator. During the day time on this island most of the magical beast slept, however at night time they became highly active. The first night he slept here, he had a hard time adjusting. However as the year progressed he became aware of their presence. This is what surprised him, he learned Observation Haki (Kenbunshoku Haki) without buying it. That was when he learned that you didn¡¯t need the system to buy everything, as long as you worked hard you¡¯ll eventually gain it. Observation Haki itself in the system costed 30000 points, just for level one. He was grateful that he learned it without paying, that saved him a ton of points. Towards the end of the year, he ended up buying Armament Haki (Busoshoku Haki) for 50000 points. No matter how hard he tried, he didn¡¯t seem to have the ability to learn it himself. Yan D. Yu was surprised that he couldn¡¯t learn it. He didn¡¯t want to spend any points, but the longer he stayed here, the more he found out about this place. Some magical beast here were immune to his fire ability, and their skin was too thick for his sword to cut. This was a huge drawback for him as now he understood that he couldn¡¯t get by with just his Devil Fruit powers alone. It put a dent into his points, but he ended up learning it. The Armament Haki only showed around his hands or feet, but if he wanted it to go further he would have to increase it¡¯s level. He could also use his Armament Haki to coat his weapon, but when he did that he ended up expending a lot of his energy. This was a vital for his survival, and he needed to upgrade it. On this island, there were a variety of magical beast. When he killed them once, he gained a huge amount of points. However the next time he killed the same species, it gave him less than half the points he acquired the first time. Learning that, he sulked for a few days. The system only gave him a huge amount of points for the first time he sold their core. There were different tiers of monsters here. During his first year, the strongest he encountered was a three headed snake. It ended up giving him 30000 points. Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t figure out some of the magical beast ranks, but he knew that the stronger ones gave him more points. Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. The second year of being here, he thought about buying Conquers Haki (Haoshoku Haki) for himself. How could the Pirate King not have that ability? The price for it was twenty times the amount for a single devil fruit. Thus he knew he was not going to get that anytime soon. He had a few lucky encounters with some magical beast that he hadn¡¯t seen before and killed them. He came across that giant ape two times that year and both times he almost died. Even with all his skills, it still wasn¡¯t enough. Escaping with his life still in tact, he made it his goal to kill that magical beast as soon as possible. Training harder than ever, increased his speed, strength, and ability to use his Devil Fruit powers. Yan D. Yu tried to remember all the moves Ace used, and even came up with his own. He was fully into it, feeling like he was Ace himself. Even going as far as buying Ace¡¯s outfit. No one would think that clothing would do much, but those people are wrong! When he wore Ace¡¯s outfit, all his fire skills increased in size and damage. This was a two piece outfit. Only having the orange hat and his black shorts. He could have brought the others, but they weren¡¯t needed his fire skills to increase. They were counted as accessories instead, which he could agree on. Having feeling accomplished at his month''s worth of training, he hunted more magical beast once more. Buying ¡®Twin Usage¡¯ and ¡®Custom¡¯ made him happy inside. Those were the last two things he brought from the system. The other cores he sold to the system. He wanted to wait until he had enough points to buy another Devil Fruit. It was the beginning of the Third year when he finally killed that giant ape. ¡°Yan D. Yu, you¡¯ve done good.¡± He said as he patted his stomach that was full. He did find it strange that no one ever came to this island during his time here. Usually a few disciples from the sects close by would come for training, however he had not once encountered one. Glancing around, the scenery greatly changed. It was a forest filled with trees and lush grass, however now it¡¯s just charred ground and black trees. Over these years, the damage done to this island would take a while to recover. Yan D. Yu was somewhat upset that he didn¡¯t get a reward for killing all of these magical beast. He at least expected to use the bounty system, but that failed. The admin told him it wasn¡¯t activated yet, and needed a little more time. Standing at the edge of the island, he gazed out at the open sea. Closing his eyes, he brought the One Man boat ace used before. It was only 500 points, so he wasn¡¯t worried. His new goal was to set out and make a name for himself. He would travel this world with a crew of his own. Being chased by the government, different sects just made his heart jump with joy. One thing that was never fully understood in One Piece was what it meant to be King of the Pirates. It surely didn¡¯t mean being the most wanted man alive, but Yan D. Yu was sure he would figure it out while on his journey. Opening his eyes, the boat was already in front of him. He could make his arms turn into Phoenix wings like Marco, but he didn¡¯t know how big the energy consumption would be. It would be game over for him if he fell into the ocean while trying to cross it. He laughed as he thought about a news headline saying, ¡°King of Pirates; Died at sea.¡± Smiling as he placed the orange hat over his hair, he did a flip and landed on the boat. Purple flames emerged from his feet as the boat took off at a frightening speed. ¡°BlueMoon Continent, here I come!¡± Chapter 5 - Pirate types In One Piece, there are two types of pirates. Those who gain infamy by destroying towns, killing people, ruling with an iron fist. Then there is the type that gains infamy by doing what they feel is right. This type only wants to go against the rules, but somehow causes trouble anyways. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t know what type of pirate he wanted to be. He felt like the second type would fit him more since he was a free spirit, and didn¡¯t want to kill everyone. However, the first type could gain infamy faster. As he coasted along the sea, he gave it a lot of thought. This would pay a big factor in determining his role in this world. The whole time all he could picture was him being on a boat with his friends laughing, drinking, listening to music. Just having a good time without a care in the world. He didn¡¯t think that this would be the type to suit him either as he needed to be in charge of a large amount of people. If he could gather up a small group of people and have mutual trust he would be set. They could have their own subordinates, while he could be with them. Even on Earth, there was no way that he could handle a lot of people. Not even the biggest companies in the world have one person in charge of everyone. There was a chain of command. He knew that if he wanted to have a good amount of pirates with him, he would need to use a chain of command. Still, first thing that needs to be done is settled himself in this world. Putting all his thoughts in the back of his head, he cruised along as he spotted the edge of a port. There were huge ships docked, while men with big arms were moving cargo on and off the ships. Compared to those ships, Yan D. Yu¡¯s boat was like an ant. Luckily he could squeeze between them and docked his boat as well. His feet pushed off the boat as he jumped in the air and did a front flip landing on the ground. His sudden appearance attracted the workers who were moving cargo. Currently there were plenty of people working, so there was a crowd. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t make much of it as he strolled past them and headed to town. As he past a few stalls selling fish, apples, and other goods, he garnished the attention of many people. He knew why as well. He was only wearing a hat, shorts, and shoes! No one in this world was use to this sort of appearance. Some of the women who were with their children covered their eyes. How could they let them see such a thing. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t care, he liked his appearance. Besides, there wasn¡¯t anything wrong with the way he looked. In fact, he was handsome. There was no doubt in his mind. If he were to walk into some brothel, he was sure to attract attention. ¡°Hmm, I should search for an inn.¡± No one came up to him, it seemed like they wanted to avoid him at all cost. Although Yan Yu was a servant, he could still read. He saw a sign hung above a wooden door that said ¡®Rabbit Inn¡¯. Just what he was looking for. Walking over, he made his way inside. The first thing that caught his attention was a young lady at the counter with braided black hair. She was hot, but probably already had a husband. As Yan D. Yu made his way over to the counter, she noticed him and blushed. As her cheeks were dyed red, it gave him a weird feeling in his heart. ¡°Hey, how much for one night?¡± He asked her as he sat down in a stool. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. She must not have heard him as her eyes were glued on his body. Going from his head, down to his stomach and back up again. ¡®Maybe she¡¯s not married¡­¡¯ He thought. Tapping the counter, he asked once more, ¡°How much for one night?¡± She seemed to be woken up by his tapping as she looked up at him. ¡°Umm¡­¡± Her entire face turned red as she tried to make out some words, but couldn¡¯t. Yan D. Yu sighed. Appearances could also be a curse. Standing up, he turned around and started walking towards the exit. It seemed that she wasn¡¯t planning on giving him an answer soon. ¡°What are you doing!¡± A voice sounded out from behind the girl as an older woman came out from the door. ¡°Can¡¯t you see someone is trying to stay here, do you have screws in your head?¡± ¡°Sir, if you would, please return. I¡¯m sure we have a room available for you.¡± She told Yan D. Yu trying to stop him from leaving. He turned around, and his eyes caught a wonderful view. She may be older, but this woman was mature. Although she was wearing some loose fitted clothes, if she wore something else any man couldn¡¯t stop themselves from attacking her. Short silky hair that stopped at her shoulders, brown eyes, and smooth white skin. Yan D. Yu had a thought, but didn¡¯t react on it. He already decided that if he were to have any type of romance here, the woman he would be with had to be able to hold her own. If not, then things could get complicated while he is chasing his dream. ¡°How much for a single night?¡± He asked once again. ¡°A single night is 10 bronze.¡± She replied. ¡°I¡¯ll be back.¡± He told her as he left the inn. There were a few things he needed to do, but he couldn¡¯t do it without any money. Surely there had to be a way for him to gain money fast. ¡­. He didn¡¯t know it, but he caused a little commotion in the inn after he left. By the entrance was a dining area, where the customers can eat their food. Most of them were males young and old who only came to this inn for one reason. The mother and daughter pair were both single. The daughter is currently sixteen years of age which is the perfect time for her to get married. If a woman isn¡¯t married at the age of twenty, then something had to be wrong with her. Her mother was married, but the father died which is now why she is single. Many men came here hoping to court one of the two. For them, as long as they can spend their lives with either of these two women, their life would be complete. Wearing a fancy robe, a youth who was holding a glass tightened his hand shattering it. ¡°Who is he? He dares step into my town and make my woman blush?¡± Small amounts of blood leaked out from the cuts on his hand. ¡°Ja Jing, I don¡¯t know, he just appeared today.¡± A bigger man with a pot belly replied. ¡°Find out! And what¡¯s with his appearance? Doesn¡¯t he have any shame?¡±
One more coming after this for today. Chapter 6 - Im Going to be King of the Pirates ¡°Excuse me, do you know where I can find magical beast?¡± Yan D. Yu asked a random man who was sweeping the entrance to his store. Pointing in a direction, he gave his reply, ¡°Yes, west of here there have been a few running wild. You can try your luck there, although I have to tell you that you don¡¯t look like the type to hunt magical beast.¡± ¡°Appearances aren¡¯t everything, but thanks for the information.¡± He told him as he waved his hand and headed west. Yan D. Yu kind of wished that he kept a few of those cores, then he could have sold it for money. A lose is a lose, but he can fix it. The ones who usually hunt magical beast are cultivators, and only the ones who know their strength would challenge one. Although Yan D. Yu isn¡¯t a cultivator but living on that island infested with those beast, it shouldn¡¯t matter much. Yan Yu lived in Shing City, but he just found out that Shing City is another town over. He would pay a visit to his family, but he can¡¯t do anything without money. Sleeping outside is an option, but he has already done that for three years straight, he is ready to get into a nice bed. He could also go for a nice bath. When he was on that island, he could only stand at the edge of it to get water for washing or drinking. Truth be told, he was afraid of water. Whether the water had the same effects in the One Piece world was something that needed to be found out. However Yan D. Yu was alone on that island, there was no way he was going to test it out. If it really did have the same effect, he would have died a long time ago. Now that he is in a civilized place, he could not accept being one of those people living on the streets. Even if he were to live on the streets, he still needed to eat! That island was filled with magical beast so he could kill them and eat their meat. Now is a different story. So far, he still hasn¡¯t encountered any cultivators. They aren¡¯t rare so they should still be around town. It wasn¡¯t that he was looking for trouble, but rather he wanted to see how he would fare against them. Once he was out of the town¡¯s gate, he turned his arms into purple fiery wings. Not once has he tried flying, but there is a first time for everything. Even Marco had to try it at some point, he wasn¡¯t born knowing how to fly. Putting strength into his legs, he pushed off the ground jumping into the arm. His arms started a flapping motion, as he went higher. ¡°This is too easy!¡± If he flapped in a downward motion, he went higher. Flapping backward propelled him forward, and flapping in the front made him go back. It wasn¡¯t hard at all. One flap of his wings could propel him a few meters. This was faster than running, and Yan D. Yu still hasn¡¯t tried to fly his fastest. It wasn¡¯t as draining as he originally thought it would be, he felt his energy slowly going down. However the rate that it was going wasn¡¯t fast at all. He figured he could probably fly for twenty or thirty minutes before he hit the ground. As he continued going west, he spotted a small valley filled with weird looking hogs. They had black tusk, and green fur. The difference between Marco and Ace was that Ace stayed on the ground and fought. Marco could as well, but he excelled in aerial combat. If he had time, he would start trying out some of Marco¡¯s moves that he¡¯s seen. Yan D. Yu nose dived down towards the Hog. It didn¡¯t sense him at all as it continued walking forward. Who knew how fast Yan D. Yu was moving, he flew by everything that only a glimpse of it could be seen. Only three feet away from the Hog was when it finally detected him. It was too late, as Yan D. Yu did a falling back heel kick. His foot was on fire as three purple claws could be seen. Under the pressure from Yan D. Yu¡¯s falling back heel kick the hog¡¯s body couldn¡¯t take it. It¡¯s legs gave out as a bone crushing sound came out of it¡¯s body. It¡¯s body hit the ground so hard, that it bounced. Yan D. Yu probably overdid it. He just wanted to try out a move he¡¯s seen Marco use plenty of times before, and who knew that the effect could be so devastating! Marco¡¯s flames itself doesn¡¯t do much damage considering it¡¯s more of a healing type of flame. However combined with Ace¡¯s flame, it¡¯s flame power was boosted! Landing on the ground softly, he took out his Wado Ichimonji and sliced the hog¡¯s body up. Grabbing the green core, he also took two slices of meat. ¡°This should do!¡± He said as he stuffed the core in his pocket. ¡°Shit, how am I supposed to fly back with this?¡± There was no way he could fly back with this meat in his hand. It would end up roasted, which is something he didn¡¯t want. He needed to have the taste of it being seasoned. Yan D. Yu hasn¡¯t had meat seasoned in a long time, thus he wants to see how it would taste. Thinking about it, he felt stupid. He could just use his claws to hold onto the meat, there was no need for his hands to hold on to it. Throwing the two slabs of meat into the air, he jumped. Transforming his arms and feet, he grabbed the meat and took off towards town. ¡­. Arriving at the town¡¯s entrance, Yan D. Yu used his feet to throw the meat up a little higher, while his fiery wings went away. Once he landed, he made sure to catch the falling meat. With two slabs of meat in hand and a core in his pocket, he was all set. He still needed to sell the core for money, but he figured it shouldn¡¯t be that hard. There was bound to be a shop that would take it. As he walked towards the gate, the guard didn¡¯t bother saying anything to him. He was already surprised when he noticed Yan D. Yu¡¯s arms catch on fire and fly away earlier. He had never seen a cultivator being able to do what he did, but there was a first time for everything. As Yan D. Yu walked into town, the guard didn¡¯t do anything. Usually he would ask for others ID to get into town, but since Yan D. Yu was a cultivator he figured it was best not to talk to him. One wrong word and he could be beheaded! His job might suck, but he cares for his life. Yan D. Yu turned his head side to side looking for some type of shop to sell his core. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. After he entered the town, the people noticed him carrying two big slabs of meat. A few came up to him asking if he wanted to sell it, but he told them no. It was his meat, he would not sell it. Instead, he would have someone cook it for him. Maybe if the person is cool enough, Yan D. Yu will allow him to join his pirate crew. What pirate crew doesn¡¯t have their own cook? It doesn¡¯t have to be the best meals, but they should be able to make something scrumptious. ¡®Merchant guild? That should do.¡¯ Yan D. Yu thought to himself as he spotted a black bricked building. He strolled over with his meat and entered. A sweet fragrant entered his nose upon entry. It surely wasn¡¯t the smell of a woman, because behind the counter was an elderly man. ¡°Old man, you want to buy a magical beast core?¡± The elderly man blinked twice at Yan D. Yu wondering how this kid could possible have a magical beast core. He didn¡¯t feel any type of Qi inside his body. He may be old by other people''s standards, but he knew that he could live at least another hundred years. Although he didn¡¯t look like a cultivator himself, if one could tell his rank, they would give him the respect he deserved. In a town like this, he could be revered as a god. Even in one of the main cities, his cultivation couldn¡¯t be considered low. The only reason he was here was because he was doing an old friend a favor. Not one person dared to call him Old man like Yan D. Yu did. It urked his nerves, but he had to be slightly respectful to the customers. He shouldn¡¯t tarnish his good friends name over one stinky brat. ¡°What do you have?¡± He asked Yan D. Yu. Walking up to the counter, Yan D. Yu held both slabs of meat in one hand and with his free one grabbed the core that was in his pocket. Upon showing it to the old man, he only gave a slight reaction. ¡°Not bad, a 3rd ranked bronze level magical beast core. How¡¯d you kill it?¡± The old man pointed towards Yan D. Yu¡¯s sword, ¡°Couldn¡¯t be with that, could it?¡± ¡°Nah, my swords too good to be used against something of that level. Only took one blow from my heel to kill it. Not bad right gramps?¡± Yan D. Yu said as he smiled. The elderly man raised his eyebrow, wondering how Yan D. Yu could possibly kill a magical beast with his bare hands. If he were a cultivator, the old man would believe him, but it surely is impossible for a mortal to kill a magical beast. ¡°Show me how you killed it, and i¡¯ll throw in something extra.¡± Thinking about it, Yan D. Yu decided he could show this old man his flames. Setting the core on the counter, he opened the palm of his hand and a purple flame appeared. ¡°With flames of course.¡± ¡®Impossible!¡¯ The old man couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. Maybe he truly was getting old, there is no way that a mortal can use flames. The strangest thing about it was that he didn¡¯t feel flow of Qi either when that flame was summoned. When a cultivator uses a martial skill, naturally they have to rely on Qi to use it. There will always be a slight disturbance in the air when one uses their martial skill, however Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t have any disturbance. ¡®A mortal who can use flames? Genius, simply genius! I must make him my disciple, even if he refuses, he should still want to join a top ranked sect!¡¯ The old man thought to himself. As Yan D. Yu dispersed the flames in his hand, he noticed the old man had a grin on his face. ¡°Something wrong? Don¡¯t die on me, at least not until I get my money.¡± Yan D. Yu told him. ¡°Become my disciple!¡± ¡°No thanks, not interested.¡± Yan D. Yu rejected his offer without batting an eye. ¡°Fine, how would you like the join the Heavenly Monarch sect? Hehe, you don¡¯t need me to tell you how great of a sect it is right?¡± The old man quickly gave him another option. ¡°Nah, can I just get my money?¡± ¡°Why? Not everyone has a chance to join our sect. It¡¯s one of the four imperial dragons for a reason! Think about it again, i¡¯m sure you¡¯ll change your mind.¡± Yan D. Yu rolled his eyes and sighed. He had no interest in joining a sect, that would mean he would be restricted. He was a free soul that would wander the world and make a big name for himself. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be tied down, now can I get my money?¡± ¡°Stinky brat, how dare you turn down my offer? Who are you parents, didn¡¯t they teach you any manners?¡± He was upset, Yan D. Yu rejected his offer three times. Three times! Doesn¡¯t he know about giving face to your elders? What sort of parents did he have growing up? Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t reply to the old man, but instead held out his hand waiting for his money to appear. Seeing how Yan D. Yu was ignoring him, the old man grunted as he gave him one silver coin. Yan D. Yu looked at the coin then back at the old man. This is outrageous, he is being cheated! From Yan Yu¡¯s memories, he knows for a fact that a magical beast core is worth thousands of gold coins, not a measly silver coin! ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°What?¡± Yan D. Yu looked at the coin in his hand. ¡°This! You are flat out cheating me!¡± ¡°Brat, don¡¯t you know that you have a silver coin? That alone is worth ten thousand gold coins.¡± Stuffing the silver coin in his pocket, Yan D. Yu understood. ¡°Ah, ok. Cya later gramps.¡± Feeling that this chance may never come again, the old man felt inclined to ask him once again. ¡°Last chance, come join our sect.¡± Yan D. Yu¡¯s hand was reaching for the door as his head looked over his shoulder. ¡°Sorry gramps, but I have another goal in mind. I¡¯m going to be King of the Pirates!¡± He told him before walking out of the door. Chapter 7 - Whos a cultivator? Yan D. Yu stepped into Rabbit Inn once more, except he was still carrying his two slabs of meat. The mature older lady was at the counter this time instead of the younger girl. He would rather deal with her anyways, it seemed like the other one¡¯s tongue is tied when he is around. Seeing Yan D. Yu come back again, she showed a beautiful smile with her white teeth showing. She also made sure to look at those two slabs of meat in his hand as well. ¡°Hey, can you cook this for me?¡± Yan D. Yu asked as he set the meat down on the counter. Blinking, she thought this was ordinary meat. Now that she got a good look at it from up close, she was wrong. This was magical beast meat, she never dreamt she would have a chance to see one again. In her youth, she tasted this kind of meat once and it has always been her dream to taste it once again. ¡®Ai, I never thought I would encounter this type of meat again. Surely he can¡¯t eat it all, can he?¡¯ She thought to herself. ¡°Yes, I can cook it. I don¡¯t know if I can cook it well, i¡¯m not a big time chef.¡± She told him honestly. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t mind as he nodded his head and took the silver coin out. Placing it on the table he said, ¡°Also book me for one night.¡± Taking a look at the silver coin, she looked at Yan D. Yu and then back at the coin. How in gods name would she get change! Another thought popped up in her head as well, she started to wonder who this young male was. In this town, there weren¡¯t many cultivators and if there were any they only stayed for a few hours. To them this town was like a pit stop, only coming here to rest before continuing on their journey. ¡°I cannot accept that.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± He asked her. ¡°Too much, I don¡¯t have enough for change.¡± Seeming to understand her, he took the silver coin back and placed it in his pocket. ¡°Sorry, that¡¯s all I have.¡± Sighing, he muttered, ¡°Sleeping outside, again.¡± She heard him, and didn¡¯t think such a person ever slept outside. Even if he was a cultivator, she knew that they hardly slept outside. There was a reason she knew a few things about cultivators, but that was all in the past. ¡°How about you let me get a few pieces of this meat as payment?¡± She asked him with a smile on her face. Yan D. Yu nodded. It was just meat. Not to mention she only asked for a little bit of it, so he didn¡¯t care. As long as he had an opportunity to sleep in a comfy bed, he would do anything. As she went to lift one slab of meat up, her arms started shaking. This was simply too heavy! She couldn¡¯t believe that he was able to lift up two slabs. He dressed weird already, but now he had impressive strength as well. She just knew he had to be a cultivator, there was no other option. Shyly, she let go of the slab of meat and blushed a little. ¡°Umm, could you give me a hand?¡± Yan D. Yu wanted to laugh watching her cute struggle to pick up the slab of meat. For him, it didn¡¯t seem to weigh much, but for her it seemed like she was trying to lift a boulder. Seeing this mature woman blush gave Yan D. Yu a weird feeling in his chest. She was so normal, and he shouldn¡¯t feel anything for her. They¡¯ve just met, he still didn¡¯t know her name. There was no way he could accept that! Maybe it was just because he wasn¡¯t use to this world yet. Tomorrow he would leave this place, and she¡¯ll never be seen again. Yan D. Yu unsheathed his Wado Ichimonji, with quick movement he sliced both slabs of meat into tiny chunks. He figured that she should be able to carry it like that. ¡®Sharp movements!¡¯ ¡°Why did you cut both up? Surely one would have sufficed?¡± ¡°No way, I may not look like it, but i¡¯m a big eater.¡± He replied to her. She felt like asking a question, but decided not to. Instead she grabbed a few chunks of meat and walked into the kitchen. A moment later, the young lady came out with a key in her hand. Her cheeks turned red upon seeing Yan D. Yu once again, but she handed him the key. ¡°Room 12.¡± She spoke softly as she turned around and went into the kitchen as well. Yan D. Yu held the key in his hand and thought about something. ¡®I wonder what happened back on earth?¡¯ He¡¯s thought about this many times before, but it was only today being surrounded by different people that he actually missed being home. Sure, he had this amazing power like a One Piece character, but it still wouldn¡¯t replace what he wanted the most. What¡¯s the point of having power if you don¡¯t have anyone to enjoy it with? His friends weren¡¯t here, he didn¡¯t have his nagging mother. Heck, he even missed his childish sister. Maybe when he was watching that mature lady earlier, he thought of his own mother. The young lady could be like his younger sister. Maybe that feeling that entered his heart earlier was something he felt warmth for. The feeling of having a family. Yan Yu had a family in this world, but did he? He was planning on paying the Le clan a visit soon, but he wondered how he would react. How would they react upon his return? They wouldn¡¯t care for a servant like him, but what about his father? Would his father actually try to kill him? If that was the case, Yan Yu should have died years ago. Surely his father must have cared somewhat about him or else Yan Yu wouldn¡¯t have stuck around. This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. He could easily be like one of those characters who go for revenge because they wanted to kill him, but he wasn¡¯t Yan Yu. He was someone else. The most he would do is see his father once more to ask him a few questions. ¡°You, don¡¯t you dare think about getting cozy with miss Yu! Ja Jing has his eyes set on her, so for your own safety don¡¯t think about trying to court her! You hear!¡± A man¡¯s voice told Yan D. Yu. Yan D. Yu turned his head, and spotted a man who seemed to be around 5¡¯7 with a big belly. Black mustache, black hair, but clear skin. His clothes looked expensive, wearing a blue robe with with lining. ¡°Who is miss Yu, and who the hell are you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t play dumb, you know who miss Yu is. Also, don¡¯t you know how to dress, have some decency and cover up! Walking around here half nude, hump! Don¡¯t you care about face!¡± ¡°Why do you care how I dress? Why are you looking at my body anyways? What are you, a fag? If I want to walk around fully naked, who can stop me? Surely not you fatso!¡± Yan D. Yu replied in a cold tone. The bigger man¡¯s face flushed red with anger as he stomped his feet. ¡°Fatso! Fatso!! I¡¯ll have you know who you¡¯re dealing with!¡± Clapping his hands, from different sides of the dining arena a few men jumped up. Scars over their bodies, and dirty clothes that made them look like hoodlums. Yan D. Yu hasn¡¯t even done anything, but someone is already trying to start trouble with him. He could not accept this! As the men started to approach Yan D. Yu, he got up and walked towards the door. He had manners, and wouldn¡¯t dare fight in such a small space. If he broke something in that in, he might feel that wrath of the lady. ¡°Where the hell are you going? Talking big shit, but running away?¡± The pot bellied man mocked Yan D. Yu trying to entice him. ¡°Who would run away from you, tell your men to come outside!¡± Walking outside the inn, Yan D. Yu stood a few feet away from the door waiting for those men to come out. Surely that fat man didn¡¯t think that these five hoodlums could beat him. If he lost this fight, he would fail everyone. Ace, Marco, Luffy, Shanks. Anyone who was a pirate in the One Piece world, how could someone like them lose to a bunch of hoodlums? If they wouldn¡¯t lose, neither would he! One by one, the five men came out the inn. They seemed slightly surprised at Yan D. Yu still standing there. In reality, they all thought he ran away. But true to his word, he didn¡¯t want to fight inside the inn, thus came outside. ¡°Why are you standing there, go back and enjoy your meal if that punk ran away.¡± The pot bellied man told them as he came to the door. ¡°Oh, he didn¡¯t run away. I guess he is a bit courageous. Too bad being courageous doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯ll live long!¡± He shouted as he noticed Yan D. Yu standing outside. ¡°Kill him!¡± The five men reached behind their backs and grabbed some daggers. Rushing towards Yan D. Yu, there was no way he could escape. Yan D. Yu pointed his index finger and middle finger at the five men running towards him. There wasn¡¯t that much space between them, but Yan D. Yu¡¯s movements were fast. His fingers caught on fire as five purple condensed flames shot out of his finger. The men were caught off guard, they never expected to meet a cultivator. To die at the hands of a god, they didn¡¯t want that! Lifelessly, their bodies dropped to the ground as a hole was embedded in their heads. Five shots, five targets, all dead. Their blood painted the ground red, as they laid there motionless. Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t believe that he just killed people. It happened so fast, and it was way too easy. His first day in town, and he can already became a murderer! Yan D. Yu killed magical beast for three years since he arrived here. Maybe that changed his personality to seeing these humans differently. However that still didn''t stop his heart from beating fast, as he watched the blood pool continue to grow wider. The pot bellied man was shaken. He never thought that a cultivator would dare to kill mortals! This, this is simply immoral! He was scared, but something in him still made him speak out, ¡°Y-you! How dare you break the rules! Don¡¯t you know the heavens will punish those who kill mortals! You¡¯re a cultivator, but you dare dress like a barbarian! Just you wait till I report this to the alliance, you are dead!¡± Yan D. Yu pointed his finger at the pot bellied man. ¡°Who¡¯s a cultivator? I¡¯m a pirate.¡± Telling him that, another purple flame flew out of his fingers.
Thanks for reading! I''d like to thank you guys for reading and enjoying this fiction. However I again must tell you that this is just written for fun. The story is pretty simple, and I just like writing it. Conversations aren''t going to be well written as in other fictions, but I didn''t plan on that from the beginning. There will be errors in writing, and if you spot them let me know. This is pretty fun though, it gives me a break from writing my other novel, while also having me come up with new ideas. I like reading your comments, so continue to comment on the story. Also, if you have any suggestions you think would benefit the story, things you want to see, or any a certain type of person who should join his crew. Let me know. I also noticed that a good amount of you wanted him to have WhiteBears Devil Fruit power, however I must tell you. A Devil Fruit appears.... Spoiler : That doesn''t mean he has to eat it! Chapter 8 - Face in the sky A young woman was knocking on a wooden door. ¡°Mister, mom told me to tell you the food is done.¡± Yan D. Yu swung his room door open surprising the young woman. Earlier, he still had his hat on his head, now it was off. His hairstyle was nothing to be seen in this world. Most men and women in this world like their hair straight, braided, or put into a bun. However, his hair style was vastly different from their own. Seeing his full appearance, and hair the young woman felt like she was looking at a man that couldn¡¯t be tamed. From his appearance, to the way he talked. It was as if he didn¡¯t care for culture, nor did he care about face. This sort of man caused her small heart to flutter. Watching the young girl in her daze, Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°C¡¯mon, your mother is waiting.¡± He laughingly told her as he walked past her. Getting rid of those hoodlums earlier, didn¡¯t cause a stir at all in the inn. It seemed like they were use to these kinds of people, so no one cared that they died. The woman only told him to get rid of the bodies, it was bad for business. Yan D. Yu seemed to understand as he burned their bodies to ash. Making his way downstairs, his nose smelt something great, which caused his stomach to growl. Licking his lips, he sped up. The mature woman seeing Yan D. Yu coming smiled. She was grateful to him for getting rid of those people earlier. They continued pestering her about some marriage proposals for her daughter, now that they were gone all her worries washed away. ¡°Here, with all that meat i¡¯ve made you a variety of dishes. I hope that they suit your taste.¡± She told him as she pointed to the different types of food on the table. Yan D. Yu had his own table in the dining area. Usually there would be two or three people sharing a table to enjoy their meals, but with Yan D. Yu¡¯s spread, he had to have his own table. ¡°Such a beautiful woman, your cooking must also be good.¡± He complimented her as he took a seat. ¡°You must be joking, such an old woman like me lost her beauty a long time ago.¡± Yan D. Yu was about to take a bite out of a juicy steak when he heard her. ¡°No, i¡¯m not. I don¡¯t know where your husband is, but he surely is a lucky man.¡± Hearing what Yan D. Yu said, she couldn¡¯t help but remember her husband who died. Her emotions started to stir up. ¡°Enjoy your meal mister¡­¡± ¡°Yan D. Yu. That¡¯s what you can call me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Yu Ying. I¡¯ll take my leave now, please enjoy your meal, if there is anything else you need please tell my daughter.¡± Yan D. Yu nodded in reply as he started to eat his steak. He almost cried from the flavor. That sweet juice, the tenderness. It was as if the meat was melting in his mouth. This food tasted better than the kind in his own world! Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t believe it, if this woman could make a meal this good, what kind of meal would a high ranking chef be able to make? It was decided at that moment, Yan D. Yu would find at least two chefs for his crew. ¡°Mom, why does he dress so funny? Shouldn''t he at least cover up? Doesn¡¯t he feel embarrassed being nude in the open?¡± The young lady asked her mother. ¡°Yu¡¯er, why don¡¯t you go over and ask him. He should be able to give you a better explanation that I can.¡± The mature woman told her while smiling at her daughter. It was good to see her daughter taking an interest in someone else. Especially the opposite sex. Glancing over at Yan D. Yu, his body wasn¡¯t bad, nor was his looks. He was able to take down six people, if her daughter could get someone like him, she would happily die in peace. Yu Xing pouted, her mother was making fun of her. She knows that she isn¡¯t use to seeing someone naked, let alone a male. Everytime she is in front of him, her whole body feels tense, and she can¡¯t make out any words. Seeing her daughter pout, Yu Ying smiled. ¡°I truly don¡¯t know, but maybe he isn¡¯t from this continent. The world is bigger than what we see.¡± Slurping up his soup, Yan D. Yu licked his lips as he burped. Patting his stomach, he was full. He planned on eating normally, but who knew that after one bite his body took control and started eating like a savage. Getting up from his seat, he noticed the looks the others were getting him. They showed a look of disgust on their faces, but Yan D. Yu shrugged. ¡°Thanks Yu Ying for the meal, it was the best i¡¯ve had!¡± He told her as he made his way up to his room. It wasn¡¯t anything special, the room was small only holding a twin sized bed. There was a mirror, dresser, and bathroom which was nice. Yan D. Yu flopped down on his bed as he shut his eyes. There was a long journey he had tomorrow, so it was best to sleep early to wake up earlier. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. As he started shutting his eyes, a voice went off in his head. ¡°Yan Yu, the Bounty system will be up in a few hours.¡± Yan D. Yu muttered ok, as he went off into dreamland. Time passed and the sky slowly darkened. Everyone started going to their own rooms to sleep, and the two women were downstairs cleaning up after a successful day. ¡°Mom, why is the sky purple? Isn¡¯t that strange?¡± Yu Ying asked her mother while wiping down a table. Yu Xing glanced out the window and sure enough the sky was purple. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­ maybe one of those cultivators are having a huge breakthrough.¡± ¡­.. Two men wielding swords were facing off in the sky. One was an elderly man with a long black beard but had wrinkles. His cultivation was above his opponents. The one he was facing off against was a younger male that seemed to be around his mid thirties. His whole body had different wounds on them, some were leaking blood while a few were healed. ¡°Cho Ching, do you have a death wish? Hand over the ancient tome and we¡¯ll let you live.¡± The elderly man told him. ¡°Screw off! I¡¯ve killed your disciple¡¯s and son, like hell you¡¯ll let me go. Now that this ancient tome is in my hands, you¡¯ve come to kill me!¡± ¡°Smart fool, hand it over and i¡¯ll make your death less painful!¡± In the purple sky, blue lightning spread out. Vicious booms could be heard throughout the world. Never has something this strange happened before, even these two cultivators were scared. Did someone oppose the heavens? Surely they wouldn¡¯t get caught in the mix, would they? The two of them flew down a lower scared if they stayed as high as they were, something might come down to strike them. In the purple sky, seven strange objects floated down as if they heavens were gifting these cultivators. They floated around in a circle, as they sped up. Cho Ching and the other man squinted their eyes watching the objects carefully. It seemed to be six different colored fruit and a seed? If Yan D. Yu saw this, he would make out what these were. Devil Fruits! A shockwave spread out as the seven objects shot out at blazing speed. Not even these two cultivators could catch up to them even at their full strength. Cho Ching swallowed down hard. ¡°Xia Ming¡­ you saw that too¡­ right?¡± ¡°Heavens! The heavens have sent down seven treasures! I must find one of them!¡± Xia Ming exclaimed as he sped off in one of the directions one of the objects went. Cho Ching let out a deep breath, the heavens helped him survive. That bastard Xia Ming forgot all about the ancient tome in his hand and went after something he probably would never find. Just as Cho Ching was about to dash off, the purple sky changed to blue. A giant face appeared in the sky. Cho Ching wouldn¡¯t say that the face was handsome, but he wasn¡¯t saying anything. If he said something, he might be struck by thunder. No one in this entire world would be able to make out who that was. He was a god, Cho Ching knew it. Although Yan D. Yu would agree with him about that person being a god, he knew that Eiichiro Oda was only mortal. The face opened his mouth, ¡°The power to shake the world, massive amounts of fortunate, a brand new way to live! Want it? Fine, you can have it¡­ but first you¡¯ll have to find it! Everything you want, is at¡­¡± As the face spoke, it wasn¡¯t loud at all, in fact it sounded like a dying person who had the will to live on. Proud. This voice spread across the entire world, not just a small section. Anyone who was woke at this moment heard that voice. Everyone who was outside had seen those seven objects disperse in different directions. It was fully engraved in their heads, they would never forget those words. Didn¡¯t this mean that the heavens wanted them to find those objects? How could they not be excited about it! Eiichiro Oda¡¯s face disappeared from the sky as the sky returned dark again. Unbeknownst to Yan D. Yu, Eiichiro Oda just started a new age of pirates in this world. He was soundlessly sleeping in his bed snoring. Chapter 9 - The Alliance decides on a big move! Eiichiro Oda¡¯s words, spread like a wildfire that night. The news of seven great treasures from the heavens appearing couldn¡¯t be contained. Noble humans were woken up in the middle of the night and heard this news. The normal humans told their neighbors about what happened. Disciples told their friends from the sects, even the sect leaders were driven out of secluded cultivation! One would have to be a fool not to try and get at least one of these seven treasures. Those four imperial sects were turned upside down. Going from the one of the four great sects, into a normal sized sect in the middle of the night wasn¡¯t an exaggeration. Disciples formed groups and left their sects going to look for the treasure. Even the headmasters took some elders to go searching for the treasures. The merchant guild used all its resources sending out everyone. Some went searching for the treasure, while others went to look for information about it. Naturally no one would have information yet, but when it would appear they would be the first to hear it! Sons of poor families found a new goal that night. As long as they could get one of the treasures, they knew they would be unbeatable under the heavens. Thus they left their homes hoping to make their families proud. In the Imperial City, even the Empress herself couldn¡¯t believe what happened. That night as she was trying to make a breakthrough, she heard that voice. Waking up the whole palace, she sent her best nights out hoping that they would return with a treasure. If they couldn¡¯t, she would go herself. For the first time in history, the whole world was in an uproar. Don¡¯t even think about BlueMoon Continent, what about the other four? They were in the same situation! Seven treasures. A god''s word. Naturally they went out for this grand adventure as well. This could be considered a whole new age. Yan D. Yu would call it the pirate age, if he knew what was going on. That night, the first ever moving Sect was created. With almost three hundred disciples under him, the headmaster created a giant ship that was big enough for each disciple to have their own room. Now even if they ran into a group of other cultivators, they would still have a chance to beat them. Yu Ying and Yu Xing were stiff both gazing into each other''s eyes. These words, they couldn¡¯t believe it. How was this possible? What kind of god could throw out seven treasures? From where they were standing, they could only make out seven white lights, but anyone would know that these were some sort of treasure! Yu Ying regained control over her body. ¡°Yu Xing, go get some sleep, I have a feeling we¡¯ll be busy tomorrow.¡± Yu Xing slowly nodded her head as she started walking to her own room. If anyone wanted to travel by sea, then they would have to come to this town. The port was big enough to hold several large boats, thus it was good for merchants to bring in their own cargo by boat. Later they would come get it. Not every merchant used boats for trading, but the ones that did had huge names in the world. They traded their goods with the other merchants in the world. The power that the Merchant guild held was in no way lower than that of the Empress! This town was only one of the few where people can come and go by boat. However, no one stayed here for long, thus there were only five inns in the whole town. Yu Ying, couldn¡¯t hold back her excitement. She knew that some big named people would be appearing soon, it was onyl a matter of time. A cultivator flying in the air looking for a treasure? Foolish! No one could fly forever, it was only natural for them to have a boat. Even if one of the treasures came to BlueMoon Continent, not everyone would stay searching for it. The world is big, and they needed to explore it. With only five inns in town, business would be booming soon enough. That moment, Yu Ying sat down and pulled out a piece of paper. She started calculating how much she should raise the cost for living here for a day. The cost for food as well! At heart, she was still a woman. One thing women loved was money. Yu Ying was no exception! ¡®Yu¡¯er we¡¯ll finally be rich!¡¯ As the night sky turned brighter and brighter, Yan D. Yu¡¯s eyelids moved slightly. Yawning, he opened his eyes and stretched his arms. He didn¡¯t know how long he slept, but considering it was already morning, he knew it was for a while. He fell asleep in the middle of the day yesterday, but now it¡¯s morning. ¡°Did something happen? Why is it so loud?¡± He asked himself as he got out of bed and walked downstairs. ¡°The hell is this?¡± He asked as he watched a full house of people. Looking at one side, the dining area was full, not one seat was open. Even the counter was filled with people! Yesterday, there were plenty of spots open in the dining area not to mention the seats at the counter. He didn¡¯t think that in one night things would change so fast. Yu Ying was writing down a food orders as she noticed Yan D. Yu come down. She gave him a cheerful smile before turning back to finish writing down orders. Yu Xing was rushing out of the door with her hands filled with food. ¡°Where''s my food?¡± A bearded man asked her. ¡°It¡¯s coming, it¡¯s coming!¡± She replied as she served a few people their food. Speed walking back to the door, she noticed Yan D. Yu standing there. ¡°Hungry?¡± She asked him. ¡°Very.¡± Pointing towards her mother, she said, ¡°Give her your order.¡± Saying that, she rushed back into the kitchen. Yan D. Yu knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to taste her mother''s cooking like he did yesterday. He didn¡¯t know who was making the food, but it surely wasn¡¯t Yu Ying or her daughter. One was busy writing down orders while the other was serving the plates of food. Walking over to Yu Ying, he stood behind a well built man. ¡°Miss Yu, could I have breakfast?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s that bastard? How can he cut in line?¡± ¡°Yeah, get the hell in line! Can¡¯t you see we are all waiting as well! The hell you think you are?¡± People started shouting at Yan D. Yu who blatantly cut in front of them. They traveled from the nearby cities getting ready to leave this continent. There influence wasn¡¯t low, and they had plenty of money. If it was any other day, they would never step foot in this inn, but it wasn¡¯t. The other inns in this town was filled, with lines extending outside the building. They were in a rush to leave first, that most of them didn¡¯t bring any goods with them. Some however were smarter than others and brought meat with them. The sad thing was that they didn¡¯t have anyone to cook it. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Yan D. Yu pretended like he didn¡¯t hear them shouting at him and continued waiting for Miss Yu to give him the OK to prepare his meal. Seeing how Yan D. Yu was getting yelled at, she felt angry. Yu Ying didn¡¯t shout out, because she knew that in this place not only were there nobles, a few of them had to be cultivators as well. ¡°Yan D. Yu, just wait a bit longer, i¡¯ll have Yu Xing bring you food to your room.¡± She told him. ¡°Alright, i¡¯ll be waiting.¡± He told her with a smile on his face. Turning around, he walked back upstairs to his room. People were still shouting at him from behind, while some told him that they would kill his mother. Downstairs, business continued flowing. In a corner, a group of three males and two females were eating their food. When Yan D. Yu came down, he caused a commotion because he cut in front of everyone else, thus everyone naturally looked at him. ¡°Ugh, I can¡¯t believe he can dress that way. Doesn¡¯t he have any shame?¡± One of the males spoke. ¡°I thought he was pretty cute? What about you Yu Ming?¡± One of the girls asked another female. ¡°He¡¯s alright, but Yo Mu is better. Not to mention, he¡¯s only a mortal, how could he compare to brother Yo?¡± She replied. ¡°Fuck me right? You dare eat my meat?¡± A voice burst out from a nearby table. It was a man dressed in black robes. His looks were average for a cultivator, but he gave off this strong presence. ¡°That was my meat and you know it!¡± A youth dressed in a white robe replied. ¡°Trash! This is why you mortals should stay out of our world! Let me guess, you think someone like you will get one of those treasures? Damn, even babies have the balls to try and stand toe to toe with your elders!¡± He roared. The youth pointed his fork at the man dressed in black. ¡°Like you¡¯ll get it, someone will probably make a fart and you¡¯ll die!¡± A silver object was shot out of the black man''s sleeve as it embedded itself in the youth''s head. His head hit the table as he didn¡¯t move. The others watched this scene and gasped. He is clearly a cultivator, so he shouldn¡¯t even harm a mortal. Even if the heavens wouldn¡¯t punish him, the alliance still would. ¡°You dare kill a mortal? Don¡¯t you have any respect for the alliance?¡± Another cultivator at the table across from him roared. ¡°Don¡¯t you see, this is a new age! The alliance rules are dead! You think they can punish us all? Wait until I get my hands on a treasure, i¡¯ll murder the whole alliance!¡± He told him as his body blurred disappeared from the spot. The alliance was an agreement by the six Immortals who reign over the world. They set it in place so that cultivators wouldn¡¯t harm mortals no matter what. Naturally they had to set up different post to around the world, but that was fine. In there days, when a mortal crossed the path of a cultivator, it would usually end in death. Many deaths happened in their days, causing the mortal world to be in an uproar. They could have ignored it, but they didn¡¯t. Cultivators killing mortals was shameful, and yet it was frequently happening? This could not continue, thus the six went to every sect and had them sign their names on a contract. There were many copies of this contract, six were in there hands, while the rest were in the hands of some noble mortals. Together, they created a sect made for punishing the cultivators who killed mortals. It was one giant sect, that had branches all over the world. Mortals would naturally send in their letters claiming a mortal killed someone. However the sects made sure to look into the problem carefully. Everyone knew that the six Immortals said all the money that the person who killed them had, would go to the mortal that reported the kill. Thus a great number of mortals started claiming that some random cultivator killed someone. At the beginning, it was shaky, however time passed by and now the alliance had a firm foot in the world. Mortals wouldn¡¯t send in false letters anymore, and cultivators knew they couldn¡¯t kill mortals no matter what. However now all across the world, cultivators were breaking the rules the alliance set in place. In just a few hours, the alliance had more letters than it ever had before! They could not let this pass, and they knew it. Every cultivator thought as long as they had one of the seven treasures, they could do whatever they wanted. Under the heavens, no Immortal could kill them. Maybe they could have a breakthrough and turn into a god! ¡­. Six people, seated at a round table were reading papers that their direct disciples sent them. Four of them were male, and two were female. These were the six Immortals. One slammed his hand on the table. ¡°This cannot go on! If we allow this to carry on, those mortals will die! What would our ancestors say? Our parents? Surely none of you forget who gave birth to us?¡± ¡°This problem is too big, it hasn¡¯t even been a full day yet but the number of mortals dying by the hands of cultivators has already exceeded what was seen in the past.¡± Another man added in. ¡°Well, what can we do? For us six to kill all those cultivators would simply be impossible, not to mention with those seven treasures out there, who knows where they could be. What god''s idea was it to send down those seven objects aways? Didn¡¯t they know what kind of commotion would happen?¡± A woman with a skin tight blue dressed asked. ¡°Pass down the order to every alliance sect, they are to punish any who killed a mortal. I don¡¯t care if they have to travel the sea as well, put them on high alert. Once news comes down, have them at once carry out with the killing. Across the seas, in different Continents, no matter where. New post must be built up in cities, even the small towns if needed! I can¡¯t believe what he said would come true, we must hurry!¡± A white bearded man spoke with a sense of urgency. ¡°If it comes down to it and we can¡¯t get to the killer, put a bounty on their head. Those who oppose us, will feel our wrath! Also, send a team out to search for those treasures, they cannot fall into others hands!¡± The six nodded their heads as they closed their eyes, seeming to be in some sort of trance. Last night marked the day of the pirate age, but this morning was the day the world government was created. It would take a while to pass down what happened to the others in the alliance, but they already had a strong hold in the world. Even if people were to go up against them, the alliance had six immortals backing them? Only a fool would dare oppose them! A world government being created, Devil Fruit appearing and a weird seed. If Yan D. Yu knew all about this, he wouldn¡¯t believe it.
I had a blast writing this chapter :o. Chapter 10 - Fifth realm cultivator Currently, in his room Yan D. Yu doesn¡¯t understand that seven treasures came down causing everyone to go after them. He also doesn¡¯t know that the alliance just decided that they are going to kill anyone who kills a mortal and opposes them. Everything is happening too fast, but he still hasn¡¯t heard any news of it yet. With his eyes closed, he is looking at the system. What surprised him the most was the fact that the Bounty system had opened up now. After three years of being here, it¡¯s finally opened up! He couldn¡¯t wait to see what kind of missions he would get. The interface was different, it showed his name, the amount of bounty on his head, a list of the most wanted people, as well as a list of missions. The strange thing was that his name was Yan D. Yu in the name tab, but he knows that the previous owner was Yan Yu. Maybe it was when he declared out loud that his name would be Yan D. Yu the system also changed his name. His bounty was currently zero, but he knew that it would change. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t even think that the bounty system would tell him everyone¡¯s bounty in the world. If they had a bounty on their head, naturally they must be strong. The higher it is, the stronger they are. He didn¡¯t think about comparing them to One Piece characters, because he knows that one is real and one is fiction. Once he gains his own bounty, he would see how he fairs against the most wanted in the world. Saying ¡®list of most wanted people¡¯, a drop down menu appears. There were six different Continents he could choose from, or click the world. Naturally he chose the world. He must see who his competition is in the world, not just a small section! List of names appeared along with a number at the end of it. ¡®Holy shit!¡¯ He thought to himself as he glanced at the first four names. Each one of them had close to a hundred billion. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t know what the hell they did, but with a bounty this big how could they not be huge figures in the world? In his mind, he decided to remember these four people. Yang Bi, Shu Ching, Luo Ba, Lin Xia. These four people were definitely powerful enough to hold a piece of the world in their own hands. The others on the list had a massive amount of bounty as well, but from being ranked fourth to fifth, the jump was by sixty billion. Therefore Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t care for them much. He exited the most wanted list, and checked out the missions. A variety of missions appeared, some gave rewards of points while others gave him bounty. There was a strange mission that his eyes were glued on.
Attack and kill one of the headmasters of the Alliance.
The Alliance has a firm hold in the world, but they deserve it. As news of the seven treasures have spread, peoples greed grows. The Alliance can¡¯t stand for cultivators to harm the mortals, thus any cultivator who harms a target is killed. Now that the cultivators are after the seven treasures, their killing is going wild. The Alliance has passed down an order to the headmasters of the branch sect to send out forces to stop them. Find and kill one of the headmasters of the branch sect.
Upon completion, you¡¯ll be rewarded 50000 points, and a random legendary weapon.
Alliance? Where did Yan D. Yu hear that before? Thinking about it, he realized that it was that pot bellied man who told him he would tell the alliance about him killing those five men. ¡°Isn¡¯t this basically a world government?¡± Yan D. Yu asked himself. Seven treasures clicked in his head as well. Doesn¡¯t that mean that people will go out and search for these items? If they are searching, then they are bound to travel wide and far. Just thinking about it made Yan D. Yu smile. This was the beginning of the great pirate age! Even though he wanted to jump in joy, he held back as he continued searching through the bounty missions. The best ones ended up with him killing someone, or making his claiming his own domain. As a domain, anything under his name would have his protection from others causing trouble there. Opening his eyes, Yan D. Yu¡¯s body shook with excitement. ¡°Must make a crew! Must make a crew!¡± He chanted to himself as he rolled around on his bed as he use to when a new episode of One Piece came out. Others would say he was fan-girling hard, but he didn¡¯t care. He was basically living his dream! Yan D. Yu stopped fan-girling and walked over to the door. Opening it before she could even know, he looked at the young lady. Her hand had a plate full of meat and eggs along with some water. ¡°Here, mother said it¡¯s thanks for yesterday''s meat.¡± She told him pushing the plate in his hands. Holding the plate, he watched the Yu Xing rush back downstairs. It was still busy as he could hear noises downstairs. Not knowing what those seven treasures were, he could care less. Ok, not exactly care less because he still wanted to get all of them! What pirate didn¡¯t love treasure? He took a quick wiff of his food before closing his door. Downstairs Yu Xing was leaning against the counter seemingly exhausted. Her mother glanced at her and frowned. ¡°Yu¡¯er, go take a break, you¡¯ve been working all day.¡± She shook her head. Even if her feet hurt, her mother has been working longer than her! How can she take a break when her own mother hasn¡¯t taken one yet? Seeing how her daughter was being stubborn, she topped taking an order of some woman and gave her daughter the pen and paper. ¡°Then switch with me, you can take the orders.¡± Yu Xing nodded as she traded places with her mother. Yu Ying headed towards the kitchen to grab the next set of plates. The mortals and cultivators were in the same place, so naturally they would butt heads. Yu Xing had been exposed to dead bodies before, but she had never seen anyone killing in the open as she had done today. Yu Ying told her that she could take a break if needed, but she didn¡¯t take one then either. Yu Ying never wanted her daughter to be exposed to the cultivation world, but it seemed that the heavens had other plans for her. As she walked over to a table, she felt a hand touching her butt. Who would dare do such a thing? No one touched her butt since her husband was around, and the person who did was him. It was a middle aged man wearing a golden robe with a dragon embroidered on it. Looking Yu Ying up and down, he licked his lips. ¡°How could such a woman as yourself be running a place like this? Come with me, i¡¯ll give you what you really need.¡± He told her as he licked his lips. She felt disgusted, and violated. However she held back, there wasn¡¯t a need for her to upset her customers, no matter how bad they were. It would be bad for business later on if some wanted to return. ¡°I have a husband.¡± ¡°So? Who is he, how can he compare to me? I bet he¡¯s some kind of fisher or something. A mere mortal can¡¯t compare to me girl?¡± Her face turned green when he grabbed her by her waist pulling her into his embrace. The places she was carrying fell onto the ground breaking. The others in the dinning area took a few glances her way, but no one wanted to butt in. A few males clicked their tongues as they watched her being taken away. For what reason, no one knew. Maybe they were also eyeing Yu Ying? Watching her mother get grabbed, Yu Xing¡¯s face lost its color. She bit her lower lip as she put down the pen and paper. She needed to save her mother! Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°Keep taking orders, I got this.¡± Yan D. Yu told her as walked downstairs. He didn¡¯t think that the world would be this bad, as to taking the owner of a business. Not even one person wanted to help her out, instead they continued chatting while eating their meal. ¡°Let me go!¡± Yu Ying yelled out while trying to struggle from his embrace. The struggle was useless and she knew it, but she just had to try anyways. ¡°Shut it, can¡¯t you see that struggling won¡¯t get you anywhere. I¡¯ll have you know that not one person in this whole building can match my cultivation level. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn¡¯t dare try.¡± ¡°Let her go and get the fuck out!¡± Yan D. Yu roared at the man. ¡°The fuck are you? You dare curse at this daddy?¡± The middle aged man glanced at Yan D. Yu checking his cultivation then sneered. ¡°A damn mortal dares curse at me?¡± Yan D. Yu approached the man with anger in his eyes. The middle aged man seeing Yan D. Yu approach threw Yu Ying to the side. ¡°What are you, her son? If you want to keep your life, how about you give me face and step away. Things will go a whole lot better for you if you do.¡± He told him as he stood up. Against a mortal he didn¡¯t even need to use one percent of his power. A flick of the finger would be enough to kill them. Bang! His body was sent flying over a table and broke through the wall. Yan D. Yu¡¯s fist hit him dead in the face. It was faster than he thought it would be, and he didn¡¯t have his guard up. The customers in the dining area glanced at Yan D. Yu, then the hole in the wall. Their hearts were stirred up. The few mortals thought this would be a good fight, while the cultivators in the area felt that Yan D. Yu was dead. He got a lucky shot in, that was all. ¡°Fuck! You dare hit me!¡± The middle aged man yelled out. Appearing out of the hole was Yan D. Yu. ¡°Yeah, I dare, what the hell you going to do about it?¡± The man had a nosebleed, but that was all. Yan D. Yu even used his armament Haki hoping to kill him with that punch. Even with that, this man wasn¡¯t damaged much. It got Yan D. Yu fired up, it didn¡¯t take a genius to realize that this person was a cultivator. ¡°If I don¡¯t kill you today, then I can¡¯t show my face in the world anymore!¡± He yelled as a black tipped spear appeared in his hands. Seeing as how the middle aged man pulled out a spear from thin air, it confirmed one thing to Yan D. Yu. Those spatial rings, did exist like some of those novels stated. Unsheathed his Wado Ichimonji, he was ready for the challenge. Outside, people were still waiting to get a hot meal. The amount was vastly smaller compared to earlier, but it was still quite the crowd. Some people inside Rabbit Inn started coming out to take a look. The middle aged man realized the amount of people watching him was greater than what was shown. He sensed a few people further away from them, watching this. There were even two men floating in the air looking at him. If he didn¡¯t finish this in one move, he could never show his face again. Thrusting the spear out he aimed at Yan D. Yu¡¯s chest. It veered off course as Yan D. Yu swept it away with his blade. ¡®Impossible! No mortal can block my spear!¡¯ He said to himself. Gritting his teeth, he started thrusting out more attacks, but they were all blocked by Yan D. Yu. Feeling that this shouldn¡¯t happen, he probed Yan D. Yu for his cultivation again. ¡®Fuck me, it really is a mortal!¡¯ ¡°My turn!¡± Yan D. Yu shouted as he swung his sword in a arc, causing the a great amount of air to rush towards the middle aged man. The middle aged man¡¯s hair blew back as he sensed something. His spear was in front of his body as he took a defensive stance. Being pushed back a few feet, there were a few cuts over his face along with pieces of his robe being torn. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t give him a chance to counter. After using Black Blade Arc moon (Kokuto Kogetsu), he followed up Earth-Crawling Slash (Chi wo Hau Zangeki) letting the earth split as a massive amount of energy flew towards the middle aged man. ¡°Moon over heaven!¡± The man shouted as his spear was covered with dark red flames colliding with the wave of energy. The energy wave dispersed, as the middle aged man''s body blurred. Yan D. Yu has observation Haki, so he was easily able to track the man''s movements. He spun around as his sword collide with the spear. ¡°Earth Shattering fist!¡± The middle aged man yelled out as he threw out a punch. Yan D. Yu was still in the motion of blocking, he didn¡¯t have time to dodge. He hoped that his flame body would protect him, but he knew that was just a dream as the fist connected with his stomach. Being sent flying backwards, Yan D. Yu¡¯s body smacked against a building. The Wado Ichimonji dropped out of his hands falling to the ground. Blood leaked out from his mouth, he could feel something inside his body crack. When he knew he couldn¡¯t dodge, he counted on his flame body thus he didn¡¯t use any haki for protection. Now he knew that was wrong, these cultivators could harm him. His body wasn¡¯t as strong as theirs unless he used Haki. It¡¯s been tempered because he ate Devil Fruit, but it was nowhere near as strong as theirs! He was lucky enough just to survive that punch. Yan D. Yu spit out the blood that was in his mouth. ¡°Still alive? Fuck, are you even human?¡± The middle aged man questioned him. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t reply as his fist turned black and purple flames appeared. Raising his eyebrow, he didn¡¯t think that Yan D. Yu could use flames. I mean, who has heard of a mortal being able to flames! He really started to question if Yan D. Yu was really human. ¡°Phoenix Fist!¡± Yan D. Yu yelled out as he threw his fist forward. Purple flames gushed out of his hand in the form of a phoenix. Smashing into the body of the middle aged man, he burst into flames. Swinging his spear around, the flames vanished, but he was still hurt. His skin was turned black, and even his clothing was missing. He didn¡¯t spot Yan D. Yu, as he glanced around looking for him. He wouldn¡¯t have guessed that Yan D. Yu knew how to fly. If he did, he would cough blood. Even he couldn¡¯t fly, he was still a realm away from being able to fly. In the sky, Yan D. Yu¡¯s body turned into that of a purple phoenix. Flapping his wings, he flew straight down in a nose dive. This was one of Marco¡¯s moves Pale Flame of Transmigration (Tensei no Soen) except he didn¡¯t throw the enemy into the air. Yan D. Yu¡¯s body crashed into the middle aged man letting out a shockwave. Watching the man burn, Yan D. Yu knew it was over. There was no way that his opponent could survive that.
Gained 10000 Bounty, and 1000 points have been added for killing a Sage realm Cultivator. As a bonus for your first bounty kill, you''ve gained an additional 10000 bounty and 5000 points!
Picking up his Wado Ichimonji he sheathed it, and walked back into the Inn. The spectators didn¡¯t know how to act. Those mortals thought that two cultivators were duking it out, however the surrounding cultivators knew what really happened. Yan D. Yu was a mortal having the power to wield purple flames, he could kill a cultivator at the fifth realm! Wasn¡¯t this simply going against the heavens? People couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Who is he?¡± Appearing before Yu Ying, Yan D. Yu smiled wryly. ¡°Can you cook me something to eat?¡± Chapter 11- The second time hes mentioned Further away from Rabbit Inn, there were two men with hoods over their heads flying high. Only being able to make out there red and blue eyes. ¡°Brother Qin, tell me my eyes weren¡¯t playing tricks on me?¡± The red eye¡¯d man asked. Replying, the blue eye¡¯d man said, ¡°How can you say that Brother Zen, I ask just about to ask you the same thing. Since you¡¯ve seen it as well, i¡¯m sure my eyes aren¡¯t playing tricks on me.¡± ¡°A mortal¡­ with the ability to kill a sage. This is simply unheard of. You think he¡¯ll be able to handle a master sage?¡± ¡°No way, from that fight his body could barely take one hit. He is still a mortal, so it¡¯s possible to kill him.¡± In the martial arts world, there are seven realms one must go through before they can be considered a top expert. Everyone starts out at the first realm, but only the chosen ones have the strength to break past the first level. Each realm has three levels associated with it. Low, middle, and high. The seven realms are as followed, Mortal, Entry, Disciple, Monk, Sage, Master Sage, and Emperor. Although martial artist have close to an immortal lifespan, they don¡¯t live forever. The only ones who do are Immortals, which would be the eighth realm in the world. However, breaking into the Immortal realm is a dream, not everyone can do it. It¡¯s a fact as the amount of Immortals in this world totals six. There were seven Immortals before, but one disappeared from this world. It was said that breaking past through past an Immortal one would ascend to godhood. No one even dreams of that, they gave up that childish dream long ago. Just trying to become an Immortal was difficult enough, they would settle down with being crowned as an Emperor. In cultivation, jumping from one realm to another is hard, but well worth it. If a Sage can live for five hundred years, then a Master Sage can live for eight hundred. Although it¡¯s just one realm of difference, they are worlds apart. A Master Sage gains the ability to create their own martial skills, as well as fly. Just from being a low ranked Master Sage, compared to a high ranked Sage their strength is at least three times that! As one breaks through to a higher realm, their strength continues to multiple. So when he said that Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t fight a Master Sage, he wasn¡¯t lying. If he couldn¡¯t take a hit from a low ranked Sage, there was no way that he could fight against a low ranked Master Sage. He didn¡¯t dare to believe in such thoughts. If they knew that Yan D. Yu was harmed because he thought he wouldn¡¯t be hurt, they would surely cough blood. These two weren¡¯t the only ones who were having such thoughts. All of the cultivators were having similar thoughts about Yan D. Yu¡¯s strength. As Yan D. Yu was happily finishing up his fourth plate of food, Yu Ying came over to him. ¡°Yan D. Yu, I must thank you once again for saving me.¡± Yan D. Yu licked his fingers. ¡°It wasn¡¯t much.¡± ¡°But weren¡¯t you hurt? Surely you need to rest for a day or two for you to recover. You can even stay as long as you want for free!¡± Yan D. Yu shook his head. Placing his orange hat on his head, he stood up. ¡°I¡¯m already fully recovered. I also can¡¯t stay here, I have things I must do.¡± Yan D. Yu suddenly thought of something as he closed his eyes. Opening them, a two white rolls of paper appeared. Yu Ying was surprised at those rolls appearing, but then she realized that Yan D. Yu was a cultivator so naturally he would have a spatial ring. What Yan D. Yu took out was two vivre cards. It was one of the things he could buy from the Weapons shop. One roll was only worth ten points so he didn¡¯t mind buying two of them. Although it wasn''t considered a weapon, the weapon shop sold a few other items that wouldn''t be considered weapons either. Biting his thumb, he let his blood drip on the white paper. The vivre card wasn¡¯t stained red from his blood, it was still white. He handed her the roll. ¡°If you want me in the future, use this to find me. You¡¯ll also know if i¡¯m in any danger. If i¡¯m dying or close to dying it will burn until i¡¯m dead. However if I recover, it will recover the amount of paper that was lost. No matter where I am in the world, this card will allow you to find me.¡± Handing her the other roll he told her, ¡°Drip your blood on this, it¡¯ll let me know if you¡¯re in danger.¡± Yu Ying did exactly as he told her. Watching her blood being absorbed by this paper, she was surprised. She has never seen such an object before, nor has she heard of one. Her husband was a capable man who told her many things, however this was not one of them. Naturally her husband couldn¡¯t tell her about this since it didn¡¯t exist! She didn¡¯t know that, and Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t plan on telling her. Grabbing the pen at her side, she also wrote her name on the vivre card as well. She thought that if had others then he might get confused about who is whose. When she gave it back to him, he only smiled. As he left the inn, he didn¡¯t say anything else to her. If he said goodbye, that would mean they would never meet again. If he told her he would see her again, that would imply he was planning on coming back. He wasn¡¯t to fond of sad partings, thus he said nothing. Fate had a mind of it¡¯s own, whether or not they would meet again was anyone''s guess. Glancing down at the vivre card in his hand, he smiled as he stuffed it in his pocket. Closing his eyes, he brought five more. Placing them in the opposite pocket, he was set. Before he started his journey home, he needed to do one more thing. Yan D. Yu walked over to the Merchants guild and stepped inside. The old man was still here, he seemed unhappy though. ¡°Old man, you¡¯re still around?¡± Yan D. Yu asked him as he walked over to the counter. ¡°Brat, you¡¯ve changed your mind? Which is it, my disciple or the sect?¡± He asked him. Laughing, Yan D. Yu replied, ¡°Neither, i¡¯ve come to make a purchase.¡± ¡°What can I get you?¡± He asked in a grumpy voice. It was to be expected as Yan D. Yu once again turned him down. ¡°I need a spatial ring, you should know how much money I have right?¡± This is what Yan D. Yu needed the most right now. Something to hold his things, while not being too heavy and easily accessible. He would have taken the one from the middle aged man, except everything was gone. Forgetting to take it after his death, when he went back outside all the spoils of war were gone. ¡°Why are you so poor? One silver coin simply isn¡¯t enough for the lowest grade spatial ring, you¡¯ll at least need five silver coins for one. But¡­ if you become my disciple, I can give you one for free.¡± Yan D. Yu pulled out a white roll of paper from his pocket. ¡°How about a trade?¡± Squinting his eyes, he couldn¡¯t make out what that white roll was. It didn¡¯t seem like anything extraordinary. ¡°What is it?¡± The old man asked him. ¡°A vivre card. It can locate anyone in the world no matter where they are. Also if that person is dying, it will start burning. The closer they are to dying, the faster it burns. How about it, want to trade me for it?¡± Yan D. Yu asked him as he finished explaining to him about the vivre card. The old man didn¡¯t believe him, such a treasure didn¡¯t exist! If one did, then all the sects would have some. Being able to tell where their disciples are and their safety were always a Masters worries. Even a parent would want such an item! If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Gazing at Yan D. Yu, the look in his eyes told the old man that he wasn¡¯t lying. What he needed most was proof! If this item was real, then it would sell for millions! ¡°How would I know if what you said was real or not? To me, it seems like an ordinary piece of paper.¡± Yan D. Yu thought about it, and agreed. There wasn¡¯t an item like this in the world, so it¡¯s only natural to think he was trying to con the old man. He tore off a small piece and bit his finger drawing blood. He let a drip onto the piece he tore off. From the time Yan D. Yu first entered this shop, he always had this thought that this old man was strong. To him, having a strong appearance didn¡¯t mean you were strong. The real strong people gave off this air, and the old man continued to emit it. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t have any type of air around him, because he wasn¡¯t that strong. At least he wasn¡¯t at that the level where others could tell that he was strong. This old man is different though, he couldn¡¯t hide the fact that he was strong even if he wanted to! ¡°Alright old man, attack me with your best shot.¡± Raising an eyebrow, he wasn¡¯t sure if Yan D. Yu was stupid or crazy. He would not question it though. His hands flowed like water, smooth and fast. He was unleashing his intent to kill Yan D. Yu, as his finger dug into his flesh. The vivre card in Yan D. Yu¡¯s hand flared up as it started to burn. Pulling his finger back, he was back acting like normal. ¡°Excellent! It seems what you¡¯ve told me is true.¡± Yan D. Yu¡¯s wound started to heal. Getting wounded hurt like hell, but there was no other way for him to provide evidence for the vivre card. The old man waved his hand, producing a silver ring. He tossed it to Yan D. Yu while Yan D. Yu passed him the rest of the vivre card. ¡°Sell it in pieces, or as a whole, doesn¡¯t matter. You¡¯ll probably be able to make a lot off of that.¡± The old man nodded, but felt bad for Yan D. Yu. Even that spatial ring he gave him wasn¡¯t enough for this vivre card. ¡°Brat, anything in this room you can have for free. Only one though, this stuff isn¡¯t mines.¡± Yan D. Yu glanced around, but shook his head. These things here, he didn¡¯t need. ¡°Old man, I want you.¡± Yan D. Yu told him. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t swing that way.¡± Flat out rejecting Yan D. Yu, he shook both his hands. ¡°I don¡¯t swing that way either. Just come join my crew, together we¡¯ll sail the seas, search for treasure, and challenge the world!¡± ¡°Blah, not you as well. Everyone is talking about the seven treasures that appeared last night, and even the Alliance is getting involved. You don¡¯t need to get involved as well, the waves that are about to appear is too much for you to handle.¡± He told Yan D. Yu with an honest heart. Yan D. Yu sighed, but didn¡¯t give up. ¡°What Alliance? They can¡¯t be that powerful can they? Also, don¡¯t you have the urge to search for those seven treasures?¡± ¡°As much as I am tempted on searching for them, I cannot. I¡¯m bound here for a few months, and even if I leave now, it won¡¯t do much. It¡¯s a pity, everyone feels they were able to gain one of those mysterious fruits, they have a chance to become Immortal. Thanks to that, cultivators have been running wild breaking the contract made by the Alliance. However, if you were to join in search of that treasure, your days are numbered. The Alliance just passed down a strict order to kill anyone who kills a mortal, or opposes them. Trying to gain one of those treasures, is the same as saying you oppose their rule. Thus, you will be put on their list.¡± He explained to Yan D. Yu. ¡°Old man, how do you know they were fruits? Also, how do you know about the orders that were just passed down? You can¡¯t be one of their members can you?¡± Laughing, he replied, ¡°I have a few friends that owe me a favor or two. Anyone who has strength of a Master Sage could make out what those treasures were. It doesn¡¯t take a genius to look at it and see it¡¯s a fruit. They weren¡¯t normal, they were weirdly shaped and had different colors.¡± ¡®Devil Fruit? How could they appear here? Aren¡¯t I the only one able to have them?¡¯ Yan D. Yu thought. Just from how the way the old man described those fruit, he instantly knew that they were Devil Fruits. Seeing Yan D. Yu lost in thought, he knew that he realized just how out of reach it was for him to obtain one of those treasures. ¡°Just give it up, change your goal. You''re still young and a mortal, you should live your life out happily.¡± Yan D. Yu sighed, he grabbed a random book off of the shelf. ¡°I¡¯ve had this goal since I was young gramps, you wouldn¡¯t understand what it means to me. What the people before me couldn¡¯t complete, I will. Changing my goal is the same as saying kill yourself. For me, this is my life. I won¡¯t give it up for anyone.¡± Seeing Yan D. Yu so passionate about his goal, it reminded him of someone he hasn¡¯t seen in a long time. Yan D. Yu never explained what his goal in life was. To him, it didn¡¯t seem like Yan D. Yu wanted to become an Immortal, or even an Emperor. The book was held by Yan D. Yu as he started walking towards the door. ¡°Wealth, Fame, Power. This man acquired everything the world had to offer. Even during his death, everyone was moved by what he said. Giving a speech that started the great change in the world. Wanna know what he said before his dead? My fortune is yours for the taking¡­ but you¡¯ll have to find it first! I left everything I own in One Piece! That sentence moved the world, enticing many to search for his treasure. He was the man crowned by the world as King of Pirates! Gol D. Roger. What others couldn¡¯t find, what they couldn¡¯t do, I Yan D. Yu will do!¡± He spoke in a proud tone as he walked closer towards the door. Placing the vivre card that he dropped his blood on earlier on a chest, he walked out of the door. Those words hit the old man in a soft spot. Once again, he was reminded of someone who he once met. This was the second person who mentioned Gol D. Roger. His first time hearing it, he thought that Gol D. Roger was the world''s greatest cultivator. When he heard that he was a pirate, he doubted such a figure ever existed. Everyone knew that the pirates in this world hardly amounted to much. If such a great pirate was out there, he should have definitely heard his name. Now, years later another person appeared mentioning Gol D. Roger. That man years ago told him that if he didn¡¯t believe he would see it with his own eyes before he died. A person that would carry on the torch, would appear. The age of pirating was near, so it was best if he sat down and enjoyed the ride. If he didn¡¯t, he would miss something great. He only happened to come across that man once, but the way he talked was different. Like he didn¡¯t belong here, he spoke about things as if he already knew what would happen. Naturally years have past and what that man said never came true, but now this old man started to believe him. ¡°Pirates huh?¡± His body blurred as he appeared at the entrance. Grabbing the vivre card on the chest, he opened the door. ¡°Brat, wait!¡± He shouted at Yan D. Yu who was walking towards the gate. Hearing the old man calling him, he turned around. The old man tossed him a black book, then went back inside. Inside the building, the old man started laughing. ¡®A mortal who can skill a Sage. If he cultivates, I wonder what would happen! Now that would be a sight for my eyes.¡¯ Chapter 12 - Le Long Strange enough when Yan D. Yu put the silver spatial ring on, he felt his energy being drawn to it. Concentrating on the spatial ring, he could see inside it. The old man really gave him something good. The ring wasn¡¯t empty, it was filled with different types of herbs, a dozen silver coins, pills, food and different types of robes. He didn¡¯t need the robes because he doesn¡¯t like how mostly everyone looks the same. If someone looked different, they were probably bandits or mercenaries. Other than that, everyone else wore some kind of robe. Yan D. Yu had two books in his hand. One was ¡®Buddha''s Resurrection¡¯ while the other was ¡®Foundations of Qi¡¯. Now wasn¡¯t the time for him to try to become a martial artist, so he placed both books into his spatial ring. When he exited the entrance, there was a great amount of people coming into the town. Upon seeing Yan D. Yu exit, they gave him a few glances. It wasn¡¯t everyday you would see a half nude male walking around, a sight such as that would make anyone look twice. Jumping off the ground, his arms turned into purple fiery wings as he flew away. Next destination, Shing City! ¡­. In an apple orchard, a young child was picking ripe apples and placing them in his small basket. Looking left and right, he couldn¡¯t find anyone. ¡°Huh? Where is that whistling coming from?¡± He asked himself as he continued searching for something. Soon, the noise died down and he stopped searching for the person making that noise. If they didn¡¯t want to be found, he wouldn¡¯t find them! Humming a tune, he picked four more apples. Satisfied with his work, he skipped out of the orchard happily. His curiosity was piqued by that whistling sound, and he knew that whoever was making the noise was still around. Already deciding that once he gives this basket to his mom, he¡¯ll come back here and search. What he didn¡¯t know was that a golden seed flew down from the sky causing the whistling noise he heard. Hitting the ground, it made itself a nice cozy home in the ground. An hour later, the young boy came back again. Searching all over the orchard hoping to find someone. A young woman had her arms crossed and a smile on her face as she watched her son play outside. The young boy always worked hard everyday. She always wanted him to go outside and play, but he wanted to help out instead. Not knowing what kind of game he was playing, she just continued to watch her son wander around the orchard. In the ground, the golden seed started to spread its roots. What would it grow, no one knew. ¡­.. Yan D. Yu could finally see the gate to enter Shing City. It took him six hours of flying and walking to finally reach here, but he finally made it. As he descended and his wings disappeared, he started walking towards the entrance. Unlike the town he was in before where there were was only one guard, Shing City had multiple guards. They were dressed in silver armor from the neck down. Shing City was the town he (Yan Yu) lived in, so it held a lot of memories in his heart. Some were good, some were bad. ¡°Halt, what business do you have in Shing City?¡± A guard stopped him. ¡°Visiting.¡± Yan D. Yu told him. It¡¯s not like he was lying, he was visiting someone, his father. The guard watched Yan D. Yu carefully, before backing off. ¡°You cannot enter.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Pointing at Yan D. Yu¡¯s hat, and pants he told him, ¡°Because you are not properly dressed. Come back once you wear decent clothes.¡± ¡°The fuck? Does it matter how¡­ never mind, I don¡¯t have time for this.¡± Yan D. Yu told him as he jumped into the arm turning his arms into wings. Flying high over the gate, he entered Shing City, ignoring the cries from below. ¡®Why does everyone give damn about how another person looks! What type of shit is this? You know what, i¡¯m going to start a new trend. I don¡¯t want to see another damn person wearing those ugly robes again!¡¯ Vowing to himself to change the way these people dressed, he already started thinking of a plan. He already had a rule for his crew, no one is allowed to wear robes! Period. They dare to tell him he dresses weirdly? Fine, i¡¯ll make a whole group of people dress weirdly! What are you going to do about it? Far away from the entrance into the city, Yan D. Yu felt it was safe enough to land. ¡°Dad look, another Master Sage! You think he¡¯s part of the clans here?¡± A youth asked her father who was by her side. Her dad smiled, but didn¡¯t say anything. He may not be at the level to were he can fly, but he is able to tell at a glance that Yan D. Yu is not a Master Sage. Heck, he wasn¡¯t even a cultivator. Yan D. Yu had to say, that Shing City was a nice place. He was just on one of the many roads, and yet there was already a lot that he could do here. A tavern, two restaurants, one inn. This was only on one street, not to mention the others. Shing City had five noble clans here, and they were the ones who enforced the laws here. Usually a single city couldn¡¯t hold multiple big clans, but it seems that each of these clans were on the same side. As Yan D. Yu wandered around town, he finally made it to the center. The center of Shing City was where all the action happened. It held not only mansions for the five noble clans, but also different shops. Merchant Guild, Auction House, Alchemy House, Mercenary center, Brothels, and a library. Not to mention the restaurants, and inns that were in the center. Everything was in a circle formation, leaving a big gap for the center. People were sitting on benches, or trying to sell some goods while others passed by. From Yan Yu¡¯s memories he knew his way to the Le clan. His life wasn¡¯t bad as a servant, but it was better than the others. As he made his way to the Le clan, he was once again stopped by some guard, except this time he were wearing a red robe. ¡°Who are you and what do you want with our Le clan?¡± This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°Tell Le Long his son is here to see him.¡± Yan D. Yu told the guard. ¡°Mister Le only has three sons, and we know them all personally. So, i¡¯ll ask once again, who are you and what do you want with our Le clan?¡± ¡°I already told you!¡± The guard waved his hand and a bright red long sword appeared. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me then, but you won¡¯t be leaving here with your life!¡± Swinging his sword at Yan D. Yu, he was planning on killing him. Yan D. Yu¡¯s fist shot out and came into contact with the guards sword. He already coated his fist in Armament Haki, so when he hit the sword it broke into pieces. ¡°I¡¯m not going to kill you, so once again go get my father!¡± This time Yan D. Yu wasn¡¯t saying it nicely. The guard¡¯s hands were trembling as he took two steps backwards. Sweat was running down his face as he looked at Yan D. Yu. He was scared, his opponent was not someone he could handle. With only a strike of his fist, his weapon broke into pieces. This was not an ordinary sword, it was a spirit grade sword! To break this with your bare hands, one had to be at the Sage realm or higher. ¡®Le Long¡­ doesn¡¯t have another son¡­ so who is he? No, maybe this is his adoptive son, he was in a cheerful mood last month¡­¡¯ The guard thought. Slowly, he turned around and went into the mansion. Yan D. Yu produced ¡®Foundations of Qi¡¯ book and started reading it while waiting. ¡®To break out of the Mortal realm, one needs to have the willpower to overcome their limitations. Only then will one break out of the mortal realm and enter the Entry level for starting their path on marital Cultivation. Reforming the body from inside out, lifting a boulder, and forming their core. These are the advantages to breaking free from the Mortal realm. One must become one with the earth, sensing even the slightest changes. Meditating, absorbing the Qi that¡¯s in the air. As long as one has the smallest amount of talent, they¡¯ll be able to absorb the Qi. Just because you can absorb it, doesn¡¯t make you a martial artist. You must form your core from the Qi you¡¯ve absorbed. The shape it takes reflects your path in the martial world.¡¯ Reading past that passage, Yan D. Yu found some illustrations showing how one absorbs the Qi. He figured that later on, he would try it out, but for now he put the book away. The guard came back with a middle aged man. The middle aged man was wearing a red robe with golden lining, long black hair, and hazel colored eyes. His skin was pale, but Yan D. Yu knew that this was definitely his father. As Le Long looked at Yan D. Yu, he couldn¡¯t figure out who this person was. Claiming to be his son, but he knows where all his sons were at. However, there was one who died. ¡°Long time no see, it¡¯s been three years since i¡¯ve last seen you huh?¡± Yan D. Yu broke the ice with him. Le Long eyes grew wide as he finally realized who was in front of him. This kid grew up so much that he couldn¡¯t even recognize him. ¡°Yan Yu, I thought you were dead. What happened? Who did it?¡± He asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask your other sons? They were the ones who dumped me on that island and left me to die.¡± Le Long spoke in an upset tone he didn¡¯t enjoy the joke his son was saying.¡°Yan Yu, now isn¡¯t the time for jokes. They would never do that.¡± ¡°Yeah right, that wife of yours was no good either. She¡¯s probably the one who set it all up.¡± His wife wouldn¡¯t do such a thing, from all the time he has known her, she has always been a good person. Hearing his son talk about his wife like that, he spoke up to protect her. ¡°Mu¡¯er wouldn¡¯t do such a thing, she loved you like you were one of her own. Even when your mother died, she said that she would raise you. How can you say such horrible things?¡± Even after what Yan D. Yu said, Le Long still didn¡¯t speak to him in a rude tone. ¡°I could actually care less about what she said. Obviously she didn¡¯t do a good job if I was gone for three years. I plan on being in town for a few days, once you question them come find me. I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll be able to talk this out.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you stay here?¡± Le Long asked him. Why would he want his son who has been ¡®dead¡¯ for three years to stay at some inn? It¡¯s only natural that he has to stay home. If he stayed here, Le Long felt like he could caught up with him and see how he has been living all this time. Inside his heart, he truly felt sad about this matter. Although Yan Yu was born from a servant, he was still his son. He should have treated him better, but there was too much going on with his life at the time. Le Long was always going in and out of the clan to deal with business. He had to find sects that his children could attend, go to the five noble clan meetings, and cultivate himself. Still, that was not an excuse for the way Yan Yu was treated. After Yan Yu¡¯s mother died, Le Long decided that he shouldn¡¯t continue being a servant. However after his mother¡¯s death, Le Long was called back by his father to go to the head house of the Le clan. Upon returning, he was told that Yan Yu was missing. As his father, he put in effort to search for him, but he came to a dead end. Yan Yu was nowhere in Shing City. As time past and Yan Yu never showed up, he had a feeling that he was dead. ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t trust you either. However you¡¯re still my father, so I came back. I¡¯m not the same person anymore, that weak servant child is gone. I¡¯m doing perfectly fine on my own. I won¡¯t do something petty like kill the whole clan over your family drama, I just wanted to see what it would be like returning. Also, finding out who killed my mother.¡± Yan D. Yu turned and left. Seeing his father, seeing the Le mansion gave him a bitter feeling. It¡¯s not worth it to go back to a family that leaves you for dead. He just wants to have a peace of mind that way he can go on his journey without worrying about anything. Watching Yan Yu walk away, Le Long opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. His son''s return, the words he spoke, Le Long didn¡¯t want to believe it. He loved his wife, there shouldn¡¯t be a reason as to why she would want to get rid of Yan Yu. Le Long just watched Yan Yu¡¯s back fade away as he walked into the crowd. As he walked away, and deep in thought he felt something shove him to the side. Fleeing was a brown haired youth. ¡°Get back here! Genius doctor my ass! You poisoned my son making his condition even worse!¡± A twenty something year old man ran after the youth. ¡°Then you shouldn¡¯t have scammed my aunt!¡± The youth yelled back. Chapter 13 - Encountering Yan D. Yu wandered around the city for an hour, seeing all of its glory. He was debating on selling a vivre card in the auction house for money, but decided to wait longer. The auction house wouldn¡¯t have an auction until three more days. He still had plenty of time to sell it if he wanted to. After walking around the city, he went to an inn. It wasn¡¯t too expensive but also not cheap, costing two hundred gold coins a night. He booked it for three nights. Unlike Rabbit Inn where Yu Ying worked, this owner was a middle aged man. Yan D. Yu also looked into other inn¡¯s, but finding one with a female owner is hard. There was only one inn in Shing City that had a female owner, but that inn was expensive and fully booked. He was able to tell why it was booked as well. The owner was a blonde beauty, something that isn¡¯t seen too often. She only wore lipstick and light makeup, but Yan D. Yu thought she might look better if she didn¡¯t wear it at all. In his room, Yan D. Yu was seated with his legs crossed over. ¡®Foundations of Qi¡¯ was in front of him opened to the illustrations. There shouldn¡¯t be a reason why this body can¡¯t cultivate, so he decided to try. Yan D. Yu was taking deep breaths, breathing in and out slowly. The Qi in the air was slowly gathering around him. As if a vortex was in his body pulling it to him. It continued trying to piece his sky, but it couldn¡¯t. As time passed by, Yan D. Yu only managed to absorb a little bit of the Qi in the air. Cultivating was harder than what he thought it would be. He didn¡¯t know if his body had the talent for cultivation or not, but he would continue trying. His aim wasn¡¯t to become the world''s greatest cultivator, he would be satisfied with being at the Entry level. The way this was going, it would take him months before he would have enough Qi inside his body to form a core. Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t compare his speed to anyone else¡¯s because he has no one to compare himself to. Yan D. Yu would rather spend time training his haki, but the he has only seen a little of Luffy¡¯s training. Maybe he could come up with his own method of training his haki. If it was leveled up higher, then he knew that these cultivators would be easy to deal with. Opening his eyes, Yan D. Yu yawned. Taking a peek out the window, it was already dark outside. Getting up from the floor, he laid back on his bed. ¡°A medic, a navigator, a chef, maybe even someone to repair the ship.¡± He started talking to himself thinking about his future crew mates. An idea came to his head, since this world had cultivators, if he added them to his crew he would have even more options. A weaponsmith, an alchemist, maybe someone to teach others cultivation methods. In this world there are many options for his crew. This world probably didn¡¯t have any deep history like they had in One Piece. Even if they did, how could he come across someone who wants to find out this world''s history? Finding someone like that is not an easy task. Closing his eyes, he sighed. The system interface appeared, as he browsed through the different types of ships he could have. Yan D. Yu searched through them before but now he needed to get ready to buy one. Because after these next few days come to an end, he is going across the world to become the Pirate King. There was still the question he had, as to what kind of devil fruits appeared. He checked his system, but all the ones that were there before are still there. Therefore, there has to be only one conclusion. These Devil Fruits aren¡¯t the ones that appeared in One Piece, they are new. Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t even imagine what kind of power they would have. How could they even appear here anyways? He could care less for these Devil Fruits because he already had his own, but he still didn¡¯t want others to have them. A Devil Fruit with an unknown ability is no good, there could be endless possibilities! As he wandered the world, he would have to be careful now. The Alliance was killing those who went against them, and the whole world is basically searching for these seven treasures! Opening his eyes, he watched the door. Soon it began to creak open and a brown haired male came in. Closing the door, he let out a deep breath. ¡°Safe!¡± He said while laughing. Yan D. Yu coughed, while the brown haired youth jumped up. ¡°What are you doing in here?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I be asking you that?¡± Yan D. Yu replied to him. ¡°No¡­¡± Suddenly Yan D. Yu remembered that he saw this kid earlier. He was being chased by some man who said he poisoned his son. ¡°You¡¯re that ¡®genius¡¯ doctor huh?¡± Giggling, he realized that someone knew his title. It seemed like he was quite famous now. ¡°I am. What do you need, your meridians fixed? Have some rare disease that can¡¯t be cured?¡± He asked Yan D. Yu as he rubbed his nose smiling proudly. ¡®...why do I get the feeling this kid isn¡¯t even a doctor¡­¡¯ Yan D. Yu thought to himself. ¡°I heard you poisoned some kid, that true?¡± Suddenly his proud moment instantly vanished as he realized that he stepped into the wrong room. Originally he thought this room was empty so he came in here to hide. Now it seemed like a trap. ¡°Maybe I am, maybe i¡¯m not. Depends on who''s asking.¡± Yan D. Yu threw up his hands, ¡°Hey, I could care less. You¡¯re in my room, so I should at least know a little about you right?¡± The youth didn¡¯t say anything, but continued watching Yan D. Yu. Seeing how he wasn¡¯t going to answer him, Yan D. Yu decided not to dig too much into him. ¡°Fine, but you should at least get rid of your pursuers before you drag someone else into it.¡± The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°What are you talking about, I made sure to lose them!¡± He claimed. Yan D. Yu pointed his index finger and middle finger at the youth as it flared up with purple flames. ¡°H-hey, we can talk this out! I¡¯m Fa Fing, fifteen years old¡­ genius doctor!¡± He gave out some information about himself. However, Yan D. Yu did not put down his hand as he continued aiming at the youth. ¡°Look¡­ i¡¯ll give you money. I can¡¯t die, I still have things I need to do!¡± A purple bullet shot out from his fingers as it flew towards the youth. The youth gritted his teeth as he ducked, rolled, and threw five thin objects towards Yan D. Yu. Yan D. Yu coated his hand in Armament Haki blocking the objects flying his way. A ding sound was heard as the objects hit his hand and fell to the floor. They were silver needles. Fa Fing smiled at Yan D. Yu. ¡°Stupid, they were poisoned. Don¡¯t think about trying to find a cure, there isn¡¯t one.¡± Yan D. Yu ignored him, the needles didn¡¯t even pierce his skin so he didn¡¯t need to worry about poison. Even if he was poisoned, Marco had a way to deal with any type of harm that came to his body, so he could to. Seeing that Yan D. Yu wasn¡¯t even looking at him, Fa Fing ran towards the window. Breaking the glass, he fled. Yan D. Yu glanced at the window, then got up and walked towards the door. He opened it, and there was the dead body of that middle aged man who was chasing Fa Fing earlier. ¡°Fa Fing huh?¡± He said as he burned the body. Closing his door, he went back to his bed and laid down. There was a smile on his face as he closed his eyes. Yan D. Yu really wanted that old man to join his pirate crew, but that failed. However he felt that he could make Fa Fing join his crew. ¡­. Fa Fing fled the scene as fast as he could. He was already a middle ranked Disciple, he never thought that he would meet someone like Yan D. Yu. At first he felt he didn¡¯t have to worry about him since he was only a mortal. But then, Yan D. Yu made purple flames appear and he knew that he wasn¡¯t ordinary. ¡®Who is he?¡¯ Fa Fing asked himself. Those flames, the way he asked him questions, he didn¡¯t know what to make of it. He is a self proclaimed genius. It wasn¡¯t secretly a lie, without anyone¡¯s help or guidance he already entered the Disciple realm. Such a feat wasn¡¯t easy to accomplish. It was his dream to enter a sect to further himself, but his aunt couldn¡¯t afford to send him to one. That dream was crushed instantly, and he didn¡¯t want to put a burden on her so he could only continue to train by himself. Luckily he picked up a few skills from a few thieves so he was able to obtain the cultivation books he needed. They weren¡¯t the greatest things in the world, but it let him get by. As for him being a genius doctor, he could only laugh at the fools who believed such a thing. Sure he knows a few tricks that could make him pass as a doctor, but he liked to work with poison. After passing by a few streets, under the night sky he entered a broken window. His room was clean, but there wasn¡¯t a bed. Opening the door slowly, he made his way to the main hall of this small house. There under a wool blanket laid his aunt. Fa Fing¡¯s parents died when he was five years old. Since then his aunt as been raising him, but she already had it hard for herself. With an extra mouth to feed, her life only got harder. But Fa Fing never heard one word of complaint from her. She didn¡¯t regret taking him in as she never had a child of her own. He had two goals in life. One was to make sure his aunt never had to work again and could live out her life in peace, while the other was to find his parents killers. He knew that his aunt didn¡¯t want him to be involved which is why she never told him much about his parents death. Fa Fing always knew that someone had to kill them, and he wanted to know why. Him and his aunt were the last remaining members of their clan. Even coming to this city, they had to use fake names in case someone wanted to come to find them as well. Finding his parents murderer will be harder than it seems, because the only thing he has to go off of is a name. Lin Xia. The only reason he knew that name was because his aunt was sleep talking one night. When she spoke, it was like she was afraid of that person. Fa Fing didn¡¯t know who that was, but it was his only link to his parents murder. Leaning against the wall, he watched his aunt sleep peacefully. ¡°Li¡­ Yang¡­¡± His aunt muttered in her sleep as her lips curled upwards. He didn¡¯t know what she was thinking of him for, but as long as she was happy she could dream of him all she wanted. Fa Fing was the name he was told to use when they came to this town, but his parents named him Li Yang. There were only two members of the Li clan left, him and her. Suddenly her expression changed as her eyes tightened. ¡°No¡­ you can¡¯t have him! ...Lu Chen, you can¡¯t!¡± ¡°Lu Chen?¡± Fa Fing asked himself. This was her first time speaking that name, but he was sure he heard it someone before. However, he just couldn¡¯t put his tongue on it...
Can''t wait to see his ship! I''m sure someone out there knows what it will be. Chapter 14 - New item at the Auction House Gazing at the young man with an orange hat over his head, and naked upper body, he couldn¡¯t wrap his head around it. Who walks around naked? He went as far as claiming he had some things he wanted to auction. Pulling his black mustache, the man didn¡¯t know what type of item this guy wanted to sell him. They have an auction coming up within a few days, and someone wants an item to be added to it. He already decided that if this item wasn¡¯t good enough, then it wouldn¡¯t even be put on display. There were many valuable customers coming to this auction, so they decided to put out all their high value items. First, he said that his items were never seen before in this world. The man ignored his remark, but continued listening to him. There are many items that come in and out of the auction house, so naturally he has seen most of what this world has to offer. A pill that can help someone breakthrough to become a sage? Pft, child''s play. He has sold four of them before. An ancient cultivation method uncovered? They have two being put in the upcoming auction. A high grade weapon? Laughable, as the man took a look at his sword, it wasn¡¯t even a spiritual weapon. Even if it was, a spiritual weapon would not be good enough to be put in this auction. They already had two Mythic weapons for sale. No matter how he thought about it, this ordinary man could not bring out something he hasn¡¯t seen before. Watching as the man before him pulled out a white roll of paper, he realized that he was a cultivator. His eyes turned to the silver spatial ring on his finger, he could instantly tell it was a high grade spatial ring. ¡®It seems he has some capabilities.¡¯ The man thought to himself. He probed the man for his cultivation, but failed. Why did it fail? Simple, the man before him wasn¡¯t a cultivator. What kind of item could a mortal bring to this auction? His eye¡¯s went to the white roll as he also probed it to see what was so special about it. He felt like leaving right now! This white roll wasn¡¯t even good enough to clean his shit up, let alone be put in the auction. He could not leave though, that would give the auction house a bad name. He also had to be courteous to all customers that came in. Soon, the man started speaking about what was so special about this item. He called it a vivre card, that¡¯s able to locate anyone in the world no matter where they were. It could also tell whether they were dying or not. ¡®Sigh, why do people think they can pull the wool over my eyes. This is clearly a piece of trash, and yet he wants to sell it.¡¯ As he continued listening to the man explain about the vivre card, he soon said that he might not believe him. He tore a piece off of the roll, and told the man to drip his blood on it. The man complied and did what he told him to. He was slightly surprised as his blood was absorbed by that paper. He told the man to hold on to it, and grinned weirdly. The man felt strange, as if he was in front of a monster. His hand moved towards the man piercing his flesh. Blood flowed out of his shoulder, as guards rushed by his side. ¡°How dare you attack me?¡± He asked the naked man. ¡°Look at the vivre card. You wouldn¡¯t believe me if you didn¡¯t see the effects yourself.¡± He told him. Glancing down, sure enough the vivre card was burning. It wasn¡¯t burning the paper fast, in fact it was slow. The naked man said that he was only wounded, so it only burned a little. However if he kept on losing blood, then the paper would continue burning. ¡®Phenomenal! I must show her! This is an item many people will fight for, we must put it in the auction.¡¯ He thought to himself. Taking glances at the naked man and the vivre card in his hand, he decided. Waving his hand to disperse the guards he said, ¡°Give me a minute, I must get my boss.¡± ¡°Take your time, i¡¯m not in a rush.¡± He told him. ¡®Fuck, you might not be in a rush, but do you realize the item you have?¡¯ Thinking that, the man took his leave. He went into the back room, where his boss was usually at filling out paperwork. Knocking on the door, he waited. ¡°Who is it?¡± A sweet voice asked. ¡°Bing Zu.¡± ¡°Come in, this better be important.¡± The sweet voice told him. Opening the door, he smelt her perfume and took a few more whiffs. A sky blue dress that clung tightly to her body, showing off all her curves. Long black hair that fell down to her lower back, Bing Zu would call her an angel. He would not call her that out loud as he did not want to lose his job. ¡°Miss Chun, a customer came in with a very valuable item. I believe its quality doesn¡¯t lose out to any of the items currently listed for auction. Also, it¡¯s a new item that we¡¯ve never sold before. I can¡¯t even tell you the price for this one item, it seems like the bidding for this will be fierce!¡± He said energetically. Miss Chun was curious as to what kind of item could cause Bing Zu to exaggerate its price. He was usually able to tell how much the cost of an item was by a glance. ¡°What is it?¡± Bing Zu raised his hand and showed her the vivre card. ¡°He called it a vivre card. It is able to tell the location of anyone in the world, and their life-force. If it burns that means they are in danger and close to dying. However, once they are recovered, the vivre card will recover the parts that were burnt!¡± Miss Chun didn¡¯t believe him. No, she couldn¡¯t believe him! If this item was real, someone would have found it long ago. ¡°From that look Miss Chun I can tell that you don¡¯t believe me! Haha, I also thought the same, that was until I seen the effects for myself. Go on, attack me. Just¡­ don¡¯t be too rough.¡± He told her. Miss Chun was his boss, but also the granddaughter of the owner of the auction house. Soon her father would inherit ownership, and it would pass on to her. She was already twenty three but already in the Sage realm. She had peerless talent for cultivation, and multiple sects wanted her to join. One must understand that for someone to reach the Sage realm before they are twenty five can be considered a genius whose talents couldn''t be calculated. A genius would reach the Sage realm at least by the age of thirty, and if others were lucky, they could reach that realm by their forties. Her grandfather didn¡¯t allow her to join any of those sects, he taught her himself. If she got involved with those sects who knew what sort of trouble would befall them later. It was best if she didn¡¯t join them. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. Everyone knew that if they continued trying to pursue her into joining their sect, they would feel her grandfather''s wrath! His strength wasn¡¯t weak either, only a few could be a match for him. Although he wasn¡¯t Immortal, he still held the strength of an Emperor. Miss Chun nodded as she gathered energy into her finger. Aiming it at Bing Zu, a golden light shot out and pierced straight through his shoulder. Blood gushed out of his wound, as his mouth had blood leaking out of it. It was a simple attack, but highly effective. Bing Zu wanted to scream out in pain, but held it in. He was stuck at the Sage realm, he was already past his prime. Trying to breakthrough at his age wouldn¡¯t do much for him. Even if he could become a Master Sage, he would end up dying in that realm. ¡®Fuck me, I told her to go easy!¡¯ He started cursing in his heart. The vivre card in his hand started burning faster, as it shrunk. Miss Chun¡¯s eyes brightened up as she noticed this. ¡°Bing Zu, this is indeed an item that we can¡¯t tell the price of.¡± She told him. Producing a few green colored pills, she tossed it to him. ¡°Hurry up and heal. We must see if it will recover what it has last!¡± Grabbing the green colored pills, he nodded as he popped them in his mouth one after another. The wound on his shoulder started healing at a speed that was visible to the eye. As he was healing, the vivre card in his hard also started recovering the parts that were burnt. Soon it seemed like it was never burnt at all! ¡°Come Bing Zu, I must pay this customer a visit. Who knows what else he has on him. If we can gain more of his treasures, then that will benefit us.¡± ¡°Indeed, maybe we can buy the information off of him as well. He must have found this item somewhere, as long as we know the location who knows what else we can discover!¡± Bing Zu led Miss Chun to where the naked man was at. He was still standing there with his hands behind his head. Miss Chun glanced at him, then looked at Bing Zu. ¡°Where is he?¡± She asked him. Laughing, Bing Zu pointed towards the naked man. ¡°That is him.¡± Eye¡¯s wide open and eyebrows raised, she had to make sure that Bing Zu was pointed towards the naked man. Upon entering, she already checked him out and found that he wasn¡¯t a cultivator, so she thought he might be browsing. Although she found his style to be different, she wasn¡¯t appalled by it. She wanted to ask if he was joking, but seeing how Bing Zu walked over to him she soon followed after. ¡°Mr¡­ er, I never caught your name.¡± Bing Zu told the naked man. ¡°Yan D. Yu.¡± He told him. ¡°Yes, Mr. Yan, this is my boss Miss Chun.¡± He introduced Yan D. Yu to his boss. ¡°Are you sure you aren¡¯t pulling my leg? I surely thought your boss was some old man, but who knew it was such a beautiful woman.¡± Bing Zu felt something coming up his throat, but swallowed it back down. Miss Chun didn''t seem to mind and took it as a compliment. ¡°Nice to meet you Mr. Yan. I¡¯ll keep the matters short, how many of those vivre cards do you have for sale, and do you have anything else for sale?¡± Yan D. Yu took out two white rolls. ¡°I only have these two items for sale, you can cut them into smaller pieces and the effects will still be the same. I¡¯d say you can make three or four smaller versions if you cut it right.¡± Both Bing Zu and Miss Chun were stunned momentarily. They didn¡¯t think he would have so many of these vivre cards. Even if he had two more, that would have been enough. Instead he pulled out two more rolls, and they could be cut into smaller pieces! In her head, Miss Chun already started to do the calculations for how much the auction house would get as commision. Even if she didn¡¯t know the exact amount that these vivre cards would sell for, she had a rough estimate. Miss Chun produced a grey paper, and handed it over to Yan D. Yu. ¡°Please drop your blood on this contact. It basically tells you that what you put up for sale will cost you five percent of whatever you make. Also saying that we won¡¯t run off with your items.¡± She told him. Yan D. Yu nodded and did what she told him. This was one of his biggest fears. Was that they would run off with his items and selling it off, leaving him broke! If they did such a thing, he would crush them! As he finished signing the contract and passed it back to her, Miss Chun asked him a few more questions. Yan D. Yu told her the location was a secret and not even if she gave him her body would he tell her where he obtained those vivre cards. As they finished up, Yan D. Yu left the auction house. ¡°Miss Chun, he is hogging all the fortune to himself. We must find out the location!¡± Bing Zu said to her. This matter was of great importance, if they could get more of these vivre cards, the auction house would make a fortune! They were already well off, but with the vast amount of fortune they could gain with those vivre cards, they could finally set their plans into motion. ¡°Bing Zu, this is a delicate matter that requires a woman''s touch. You can¡¯t rush these things, i¡¯ll find out the location. Besides, you know my lifelong goal in life, right?¡± She asked him. ¡°Yes, i¡¯ve been with you since you were able to walk. Your greatest ambition in the world is to find that legendary treasure that will fulfill your goal of making an island in the sky. You¡¯ve told me this many times before, why are you bringing it up again?¡± ¡°Because, I feel like he might have have what i¡¯m looking for, or at least lead me to it.¡± Once she finished her sentence, she turned around and left. The way Yan D. Yu dressed, his speech, was all different from anyone she has seen. She started thinking that he could have come from another Continent. No matter if he did or didn¡¯t, he gave her a strange feeling. She couldn¡¯t put the feeling into words, but it made her feel that if she stayed in contact with him, he would show her things she couldn¡¯t even imagine. ¡®I must contact grandfather!¡¯ Chapter 15 - Strong Mortal Yan D. Yu was barely away from the auction house when someone said something to him. ¡°If it isn¡¯t our old servant brother.¡± A young man who seemed to be in his twenties said as he walked up to Yan D. Yu. Wearing a pure white robe, hazel eyes, and long hair that was in a ponytail. Next to him was a younger male, who was close to twenty. Wearing a golden robe, with his black hair cut off at the neck. Out of all Le Long¡¯s children, he was the only one who didn¡¯t inherit his hazel eyes. His instead were sky blue. Yan D. Yu knew who these two were. Le Fang, who was the eldest child, being twenty three and Le Ming being eighteen. Never expecting that these two would find him so fast, Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t know how to react. It seems that his father told them that he was alive. In his head, he wondered what their reaction was. Le Long had another two kids, one was a male and the other a female. When Yan D. Yu was forced on that island, those two were still young and they didn¡¯t have anything to do with it. They were twins, both being age nine when he ¡®disappeared¡¯. From Yan Yu¡¯s memories, he clearly knows who put him on that island. It wasn¡¯t like they tried to keep their faces hidden. Maybe because they thought that he would die, never to be seen again? Maybe they were too arrogant? Now that he is still alive, Yan D. Yu can cause those people some problems. He wouldn¡¯t do it yet, but soon. It didn¡¯t take many people to force Yan Yu on the island. His two brothers was there when it happened, and some old man rowed the boat. Yan D. Yu knew that those three wouldn¡¯t act without their mother''s permission. She, was the real mastermind behind it. Le Fang¡¯s hand clamped down on Yan D. Yu¡¯s shoulder and gave him a nice squeeze. ¡°Can¡¯t say hi to your brothers you haven¡¯t seen in three years? Isn¡¯t that a little bit too disrespectful?¡± Yan D. Yu brushed his hand off. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡± He told Le Fang. ¡°Brother, I think our servant brother has grown some huge balls since we¡¯ve last seen him. Isn¡¯t it curetous to pay respects to the elder brothers upon returning? Say, why don¡¯t we give him a little ¡®discipline¡¯ like we use to?¡± Le Ming ask. Le Fang nodded and smiled. ¡°Indeed, I think he does need more ¡®discipline¡¯. He doesn¡¯t give us face upon returning, not even trying to see us the day he came here. We had to find out from father, who just continued questioning us. I say, I wonder what bullshit our servant brother spouted?¡± Le Fang quickly threw a punch towards Yan D. Yu. He may not have talent being a martial artist, but his strength was still higher than Yan D. Yu¡¯s. He was a mid ranked Disciple. When he touched Yan D. Yu, he already found out that he was still a mortal. At first he thought that he would have some sort of cultivation level, but he was wrong. Le Fang didn¡¯t know how he survived on that island and managed to come back here, but since Yan D. Yu was still weak. He would make sure he would never return! As his fist hit Yan D. Yu¡¯s face, the strangest thing happened. It continued to go through him! A part of his face was missing, but there was purple flames burning around the hole. Le Fang quickly pulled his fist back, and took two steps back. He looked at his fist, ¡®Was I always this strong?¡¯ He did not think that his fist could go through Yan D. Yu¡¯s face, but no matter, he was sure to be dead now. Yan D. Yu was suppose to be dead, but that did not happen. The part of his face that was missing, soon reappeared again like he was never hurt. Le Fang wasn¡¯t the only one sweating bullets, his younger brother Le Ming also started sweating hard. How was this person in front of them still human? He should be laying on the ground dead, there is no way a person missing part of their face could still be alive. Yan D. Yu was also slightly surprised. When he fought that guy in the other town, his flame body wasn¡¯t working which is why he was harmed. However when his brother hit him, his flame body worked fine. Was there a certain reason why? When Le Fang hit Yan D. Yu, Yan D. Yu could have easily dodged, but he wanted to test his flame body again. If it didn¡¯t work, then he knew that something was wrong with his body, or that people in this world can harm him. Now, he knew that neither of them were the correct answer. Yan D. Yu needed more information. His brother couldn¡¯t harm him, but that man could. There had to be a reason why. This was vital information for Yan D. Yu. He decided to put that in the back of his head, as he now focused on the current problem at hand. Yan D. Yu appeared next to Le Fang, grabbed his arm and broke it. He made sure to coat his hands in Armament Haki before, just to break the bones in his forearm as well. Having one''s arms broke and their bones crushed, was not a feeling anyone could enjoy. Le Fang screamed out in pain, but Yan D. Yu backhanded him sending him flying. Le Ming gritted his teeth as he pulled out a white sword from his spatial ring. ¡°Know your place!¡± He yelled out as he swung his sword at Yan D. Yu. A ding sound could be heard as Yan D. Yu grabbed the blade with his hand. Le Ming was sure that Yan D. Yu¡¯s hand would be split open, but seeing that wicked smile on his face he knew he was wrong. As he tried to pull his sword back, Yan D. Yu¡¯s grip on it was too much for him. Yan D. Yu then gave him a nice kick in his chest. The force behind it was enough to break a few of his ribs. ¡°Not even two meters away from the auction and you caused a disturbance. I already told ¡®father¡¯ that I won¡¯t get revenge, but i¡¯ll definitely make sure you never have the chance to use your arms again.¡± Both Le Ming and Le Fang being cultivators, they could survive Yan D. Yu¡¯s attack. They did underestimate him, but even if that was the cause. The damage he gave to them was already serious enough to leave them in the bed for a few weeks. Now he was saying that he wanted them never to use their arms again, they wanted to resist! Or run, but they couldn¡¯t. The pain they felt was too much for their bodies to handle. Neither one of them passed out from his attacks, so they understood what he said. Is this what they get from the crime they committed all those years ago? Maybe heavens were paying them back? ¡°Stop! You cannot fight here, don¡¯t you know who rules this town?¡± A voice asked Yan D. Yu. When he was being attacked, there were plenty of spectators. They must have known who was provoking him and attacking him, yet they did nothing. Now when he retaliates, they want to stop him? Like hell! Yan D. Yu faced that man who told him to stop and gave him the middle finger. ¡°Fuck your rules! Your rules don¡¯t mean crap shit to me, I do what I want, when I want. If you don¡¯t like it, then just try to stop me!¡± The man''s face turned red from anger. This young generation doesn¡¯t even dare to respect their elders! He wondered he raised Yan D. Yu, because they didn¡¯t do a good job. He stomped his foot, cursed out loud and walked away. All the others who were watching this matter went on about their business. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Yan D. Yu walked over to Le Ming who was on all fours. Yan D. Yu already decided to make sure that they would think twice about touching someone else again, thus he would cut off an arm. Unsheathing his Wado Ichimonji his blade quickly moved, Le Ming screamed in pain as his left arm from the shoulder was cut off. Yan D. Yu made sure to coat his blade with Haki so it would easily cut through the bone. Blood sprayed out from his body, and Le Ming¡¯s body started convulsing. As he strolled over to Le Fang, something shot out at him from afar. Yan D. Yu side stepped, with his Observation Haki that ball of light seemed to move slow. ¡°You dare cause trouble in our town?¡± A man asked as he made a dramatic entrance by falling down from the sky. Yan D. Yu looked at him, he seemed strong. At least he was stronger than that guy he fought in the last town. ¡°Who are you, and why should I care about causing trouble?¡± ¡°I see no one taught you to respect your elders, fine let I, Ming Chow teach you!¡± Pulling out a black long sword, he pushed off the ground. ¡°Like i¡¯ll let you!¡± Yan D. Yu rushed at him. A Metallic ding was heard as both their swords crossed. The dust on the ground was blow away from the impact. ¡­¡­. ¡°Sister, why do you think father rushed out of the house so fast?¡± A young boy asked his sister who was sitting next to him. ¡°Humph! I don¡¯t care, we get a chance to come home and he leaves!¡± She puffed out her cheeks. They were both seated around a table waiting for their father''s return. The door was open, and they noticed a few of their family guards running by. ¡°Hurry up, some said that the young masters were hurt!¡± The young boy and girl both looked at each other and nodded their head. Someone harmed their older brothers, that person had to pay! No wonder their father rushed out of the house so fast upon their return. The young girl had her hair in a bun while her brother had his hair in a ponytail. At their age, this was the only way to tell them apart. Rushing out of the house, they could feel a disturbance resonating in the air. From such a distance, they could still feel it. This could only mean that masters were fighting against each other! There was a crowd that formed a huge circle, it was so packed that they couldn¡¯t get through. The young boy tapped his sister on the shoulder and pointed towards a house. She nodded and they ran towards the house, climbing on top of the roof. They were both cultivators part of a major sect, the sect gave them a month''s worth of leave to go home. It took them a week just to come back home, and someone interrupted such a great moment! They had two older brothers, but when it came to cultivating, they had no talent. Although these two might be twelve, they were still at the peak of the Entry realm. Just a little more and they would be able to break through to the Disciple realm. With their vision, they could see four people fighting. The movements of these four people were fast, that they could only see a little bit of the fight. Searching around, they looked for their father. ¡­¡­ If Bing Zu didn¡¯t come get her, telling her that Yan D. Yu cut off the arm of one of the sons of those five noble clans, she wouldn¡¯t have came outside the auction house. When she arrived, he was already going at it with the leader from the Ming clan. To her, their clans strength wasn¡¯t much as Ming Chow was only at the Sage realm. For a clan leader to have that much strength, she felt sorry for them. As the fight continued, another clan leader showed up and jumped into the bout. She didn¡¯t want to get involved in their affairs, but she also couldn¡¯t lose Yan D. Yu who had items she hasn¡¯t seen before. He would be a very important figure for their auction house. Bing Zu stopped her telling her that she should not jump into their matters. He also threw in her grandfather''s name to stop her from reacting. She thought that Yan D. Yu would die even facing off against Ming Chow, but he didn¡¯t. She found it strange, his swordsmanship was top grade making him gain a point of approval from her. However, what really made her interested in him was that he was able to use purple flames. From the meeting she had earlier, she already knew that he wasn¡¯t a cultivator, yet he could summon flames? What type of person was he? He continued making himself more mysterious in her head. ¡°Miss Chun, a mortal being able to hold his own against four Sages? If we told anyone this, it would be highly unlikely they would believe us. I wouldn¡¯t even believe it, for such a person to be able to do this¡­ I fear there is only one explanation¡­¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°I fear, one of those seven treasures already fell into his hands! If a single treasure can cause a mortal to have this type of strength, just imagine what it could do to an Emperor?¡± Bing Zu couldn¡¯t hold back his excitement. Miss Chun had a feeling that he found one of those seven treasures as well, because how else could this be explained? If he found one of those seven treasures, if no one found the other ones, he was bound to find them as well! If Yan D. Yu was going to find the other treasures, she has to join him! Even if he wanted to keep the other five to himself, as long as she was able to get one. Just one, it could change everything! If she thought about it realistically, her grandfather would never allow her to join up with him. Just from the way he cut off a noble clansman¡¯s son arm off, showed her how much he cared for the law. He was bound to attract the attention of the Alliance, and her grandfather would not allow her to join up with someone who would be on the bad side of the Alliance. Her grandfather use to work for the Alliance, but that was ages ago. He wanted to be on a neutral ground in the cultivation world. Which is also why he never let her join a sect. He knew more than she did about the cultivation world, so naturally his wisdom of what goes on in a sect is higher than her own. Working for the Alliance might have changed his view on a lot of things. She however had another plan, becoming an Emperor and taking over the auction house weren¡¯t her primary concerns. She wanted to make her dream come true. Even if her grandfather didn¡¯t approve, she would find a way to do it. In this small city, a dim light of hope appeared. ¡°Miss Chun, look! It seems like this fight is over.¡± Bing Zu told her as she woke up from her daze.
Pirate crew names, Go! (Can''t come up with anything good for group name .-.) Chapter 16 - I need your help Watching as his two sons lay on the white bed with their eyes closed, he let out a deep breath. It seems like they weren¡¯t in any more danger. Glancing at the bandage around his son''s body, it pained him. There was no way to reconnect lost limbs, he would be a cripple! Turning to the doctor, he bowed. ¡°Thanks Brother Ye, you¡¯ve saved my sons once again.¡± The old man played with his long white beard and laughed. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, just say that we are even now.¡± Taking one more peek at his sons, he left the building. Why would Yan Yu harm them? No, the question he really wants to know is how his son got so strong? It should not be possible for him to be able to fight against them, after all, he was still mortal. Shaking his head, he ran back to where Yan Yu was. To him who was at the peak of the Sage realm, it didn¡¯t take long. Yan Yu sheathed his sword, but he jumped and landed in front of him. ¡°Yan Yu, how could you harm your brothers? Where is Ming Chow?¡± He asked his son. In Shing town, there were four other clans that had the same strength as his. When he arrived, Yan Yu was fighting the leader of the Ming clan. He was worried, but his other two sons were in worse condition. If he didn¡¯t take them to the doctor, they would die. Now that he has arrived again, only Yan Yu is standing there. He didn¡¯t spot Ming Chow. Yan D. Yu clicked his tongue. ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask them why they tried to harm me? I was only doing what any normal person would do. As for Ming Chow and the other three, you don¡¯t have to worry about them anymore. They¡¯re dead.¡± ¡°What do you mean dead, who killed them? Surely you couldn¡¯t have.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask anyone who witnessed it. They will tell you what happened here. Whether you believe it or not, is in your hands.¡± Yan D. Yu told him. ¡°Impossible! What did you do, make a deal with the devil?¡± Yan D. Yu laughed, ¡°You could say something like that. Le Long, enough of that, did you talk to that wife of yours? Since those two found me, you must have told them about my return. Did you think they would let me live? If they did that, they probably thought I would come back here for revenge.¡± ¡°Why do you care where Mu¡¯er is? I already asked her, and she cried tears of joy when she heard of your return.¡± Le long told him. Yan D. Yu crossed his arms. ¡°I feel sorry for you, you actually believe a word that comes out of her mouth? She isn¡¯t a good person, but it seems like you are too stupid to understand that.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to say anything, i¡¯ll take my leave here. Have a safe life Le Long, hopefully you won¡¯t die by her hands in the future.¡± Yan D. Yu told him as he walked away. ¡°Yan Yu, stop!¡± Le Long hearing how Yan Yu talked about his wife was already angry, thus he raised his voice. Not to mention both his sons were harmed earlier, how could he contain his anger? Yan D. Yu continued walking away, completely ignoring him. ¡°As your father, I command you to stop!¡± Le Long yelled at him. Yan D. Yu stopped and turned around. ¡°You may be my father, but I don¡¯t see you as one. You¡¯re just an idiot who can¡¯t see what''s right in front of him. Maybe you have the right to command everyone else, but you can¡¯t command me.¡± Saying that, he turned back and continued walking away. Le Long clenched his hands together, if this was anyone else he would have gave chase. This wasn¡¯t anyone else, it was his son and someone above him. If Yan Yu got rid of Ming Chow, then he could also get rid of him. Le Long could only stand there in silence. Yan D. Yu used a lot of energy during that fight, but he learned something. Only certain people could harm his body. He didn¡¯t know how far the strength of his brothers reached, but they were far away from Ming Chow¡¯s strength. Even the other three people who joined in with Ming Chow, their strength wasn¡¯t any lower. Yan D. Yu figured that only a certain realm and above could harm him, as to why, he didn¡¯t understand. Maybe there was something special about that realm? There was only one way to find out, and that was to learn more about the cultivation realms. For now though, he was hungry. It wasn¡¯t that he wanted to eat, but that was his only source of energy. The food he ate filled him up and refilled his energy, so naturally he had to eat food after a battle. There were a lot of abilities in the system, maybe he could find one that would make him use less energy during fights. Making his way to walked into the inn he stayed in and ordered eight plates of food. The middle aged man looked at him wondering if he could eat it all, but he didn¡¯t ask. As long as one paid for it, he didn¡¯t care how much food they would eat. A waiter showed Yan D. Yu to a table, where he was seated while waiting for his food to arrive. A few minutes after he sat down, two young kids sat down at his table. They looked alike, but you could tell them apart thanks to the different styles they had. Yan D. Yu knew who these two were, they were his younger brother and sister. Both were glaring daggers at him, as if they wanted to murder him. He didn¡¯t know if they knew who he was, so he pretended not to know them. ¡°Do you need something?¡± ¡°Who are you, and where did you get your powers?¡± His younger brother asked. Didn¡¯t seem like he wanted to beat around the bush either. Yan D. Yu smiled. These two kids didn¡¯t do anything bad to him when he was a servant. He definitely wouldn¡¯t harm them. ¡°You already know who I am, as for my powers.¡± He put his finger to his lips. ¡°That¡¯s a secret.¡± His younger sister snorted, but his brother¡¯s eyes shined with this weird light. ¡°Teach me!¡± He declared. ¡°No thanks, my skills aren¡¯t teachable.¡± Yan D. Yu rejected him. ¡°Why not? If you can learn them, so can I!¡± He wasn¡¯t giving up, if Yan D. Yu taught him his swordplay, he would be sure to please his master at the sect. They say, if you want to beat your enemy, it is best to learn from him and find his weakness. He was going to take this chance to learn from Yan D. Yu, then later on he would make him pay for beating up his brothers. ¡°Trust me, you can¡¯t learn my skills. Ask me again when you are older Le Li.¡± His younger brother''s name was Le Li, and when he heard his name being called out, his eyes opened wide. ¡°How do you know my name?¡± Yan D. Yu laughed. ¡°Everyone knows the young masters of the Le clan.¡± His younger sister snorted once again. ¡°Le Li, take a good look at him.¡± She glared at Yan D. Yu saying, ¡°And you, stop playing with him!¡± Le Li took a hard glance at Yan D. Yu, but he didn¡¯t know what his sister was saying. He really couldn¡¯t remember who this guy was in front of him. ¡°Le Jie, tell me, who is he?¡± He asked his sister. She muttered, ¡°Yan Yu.¡± Le Li almost jumped out of his skin when he heard that name. ¡°Didn¡¯t he disappear? Mother said he died.¡± Le Li took another look at Yan D. Yu, and couldn¡¯t imagine Yan Yu as him. The difference between both of them was huge! Yan D. Yu laughed lightly. ¡°How¡¯d you know it was me?¡± Le Li seemed to understand. ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t know this bu-¡± Le Jie punched him in his mouth. ¡°Shut up!¡± You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Le Li placed his hand over his mouth and shut up. Since his sister was upset for some reason, he didn¡¯t want to get on her bad side. ¡°Brother, how¡¯d you get so strong?¡± Le Li asked him. With his chest out, Yan D. Yu proudly said, ¡°Your big bro was always strong. Are you just now realizing my worth?¡± Le Li felt as if Yan Yu was mocking him. He could barely beat him in a fight when they were younger. ¡°How long are you staying here? Why didn¡¯t you say in the mansion?¡± Le Li asked. ¡°A couple of days, and saying in the mansion is not worth the drama. How¡¯s that mother of yours?¡± Yan D. Yu asked him. ¡°You don¡¯t know? Oh right¡­ you weren¡¯t there. Anyways, she isn¡¯t with us right now, father and her had a fight so she moved out. Father said she¡¯ll return soon, but we¡¯ve already been at the sect for five months and I didn¡¯t see her when came back home.¡±Le Li explained. Yan D. Yu raised his eyebrow. ¡°I see. Take care of Le Long, he should be worried about you two. Also you two joined a sect?¡± Le Li nodded. ¡°Yes Purple Moon sect. Father told us we had talent in martial arts, so he let us go there to increase our strength. You don¡¯t know this, but we are strong!¡± He said as he smiled. ¡°Stronger than your brothers?¡± Le Li laughed. ¡°Those two aren¡¯t strong, they just get by using father''s power.¡± Yan D. Yu looked at Le Jie, ¡°What about you? Why are you so quiet?¡± Le Jie didn¡¯t say anything. Seems like she was upset with Yan D. Yu about something, but wouldn¡¯t say what. He could only force out a smile. Soon, a three waiters arrived at Yan D. Yu¡¯s table with his food. Licking his lips, he dug in. Le Jie grabbed a fork and knife, digging in as well. Le Li looked at Yan D. Yu for approval before he started eating as well. Together, the three of them at their meal. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t mind sharing his meal with his younger siblings, it was his job as the older brother to take care of them. During the meal, Yan D. Yu took the time to find out some things about cultivation. It was easier to ask someone who already knew about it than reading it yourself. His brother and sister were both in the Disciple realm, while he found out that the people he fought earlier were in the Sage realm. He asked them what the difference was between each realm. Le Li was the one who spoke the most, but when he talked about cultivation his younger sister started to talk a little bit more as well. Since they were both disciples of a Sage, he found out that when someone reached the Sage realm their body would be covered in a small amount of Qi. It could provide an extra amount of defense, while also allowing them to execute more powerful skills. Yan D. Yu thought of it as Haki instead. To him, the only way something could harm him is if they had Haki. Now he understood why he was able to be harmed, he needed to be more careful on his journey. After the meal was finished, he gave his younger siblings a vivre card and told them to hold on to it. They asked what that plain piece of paper was, but he told them it was special and if they ever wanted to find him in the future, they could use that. At first, he was thinking about buying another item from the system so they could keep in touch, but changed his mind. If he did that, his younger brother was sure to constantly bug him. Yan D. Yu sent them both on their merry way, saying he¡¯ll be leaving town after the auction. Le Li pleaded for him to stay at least until they had to go back to the sect, but Yan D. Yu told him he couldn¡¯t. After finally getting rid of those two, he made his way to his room. Closing the door, he made his way to his bed. ¡°You need something?¡± He asked. ¡°Who are you, how were you able to beat those people?¡± Yan D. Yu sat on his bed and looked at the person in the corner. It was Fa Fing. ¡°Is that really important? Don¡¯t you want to ask another question?¡± Yan D. Yu asked him. He figured that if Fa Fing was here, he wanted something from him. He wouldn¡¯t come back here just to find out who he was. Fa Fing wanted to find out more information about Yan D. Yu before he wanted to ask him what he came here for. Except now, he wasn¡¯t giving out any information. ¡°I need your help.¡± Fa Fing told him. ¡°Of course you do, but what do you need?¡± ¡°There¡¯s this guy coming to the auction, I need some information from hi-¡± ¡°Deal, but you must do something for me.¡± Yan D. Yu cut him off, he thought it would be something else. He never expected it to be something as easy as gaining information. All he had to do was beat him up a little, then he¡¯ll talk. Fa Fing knew that whatever he wanted would come at a cost. He didn¡¯t know how much it would cost, but he would find a way to pay it off. ¡°Speak, what do you want?¡± ¡°I wan¡­ you should join me. To be honest, I don¡¯t know anything about you, and you have nothing on me. I know for a fact you aren¡¯t a genius doctor, but you still have your worth. So, join me.¡± At first, Yan D. Yu was going to tell him I want you, but he remembered how the old man reacted. He couldn¡¯t have that again. Fa Fing was lost in thought, but figured that Yan D. Yu must be from some secret sect or something. Maybe he was a master, this was a chance to fulfill his old dream. Who didn¡¯t know how much money cultivators had to toss around, if he joined with Yan D. Yu he would become rich! Then his aunt didn¡¯t need to work again, this was perfect! ¡°Sure, I don¡¯t mind joining your sect.¡± Yan D. Yu shook his head. ¡°It isn¡¯t a sect.¡± ¡°Fine, i¡¯ll join your clan.¡± ¡°It isn¡¯t a clan either.¡± ¡°Eh, what is it?¡± ¡°A pirate crew.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°What, no fast reply?¡± ¡°No way! Who wants to be a pirate?¡± Yan D. Yu frowned, this was the best thing to be. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being a pirate? You get to travel the world, challenge the authorities, find treasure, isn¡¯t that the greatest thing?¡± Fa Fing launched at Yan D. Yu. ¡°You want to challenge the Alliance? Don¡¯t you think you are dreaming too big?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you dreaming too low? There was once a man who defied the logic of the world. Beating people stronger than himself, breaking into an impenetrable prison only to break out of it, the government hated him. However, no matter what they did, he still survived. So you telling me i¡¯m dreaming too low, I think i¡¯m not dreaming big enough.¡± ¡°If he was so great, why haven¡¯t I heard of him?¡± Fa Fing asked him. ¡°You weren¡¯t born then, his era is long over. It¡¯s my time now, so join me. Don''t you have something you want to accomplish? A dream left unfulfilled, an ambition?¡± ¡®Why are his eyes so clear? Why does he want to go against the Alliance? How come i¡¯m getting this strange feeling? Maybe¡­ maybe he¡¯ll be able to do it? However I can¡¯t¡­¡¯
Keep the names coming. Also, don''t forget if you have any ideas for the story you can comment about it. Chapter 17 - Prisoner As time passed by, Le Long never came to see Yan D. Yu. His two younger siblings continued to come by, and even Fa Fing came to visit him as well. Once, Fa Fing and his two siblings met each other. Turns out, they got along very well. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t cause any more trouble in Shing City, there was already a commotion going on as four of the five noble clan heads died. With their heads dead, the four clans lost a big part of their power. Yan D. Yu still wanted to find himself a chef, and he needed on fast. With the auction approaching soon, he would be on his journey. He doubted that Fa Fing could cook, and he wasn¡¯t the best cook in the world either. Yan D. Yu still had a few things to settle about his pirate crew. He has been thinking hard and long about it ever since he has arrived in this world. Still, even though it has been three years, he still hasn¡¯t found a good pirate crew name. A few ideas came to mind, but he didn¡¯t know if they were good enough. As he got closer with Fa Fing, he told him about his situation and why he wanted his help. Yan D. Yu told him that his goal was a lot harder to complete than he think it is. The reason Yan D. Yu knows that is because of the name Fa Fing told him. Lin Xia was one of the four people in this world who had the highest bounty. If that person had that much bounty, then they were sure to be one of the top cultivators in the world. Yan D. Yu was sure not to tell Fa Fing about how he obtained his powers. Frankly, he didn¡¯t want him to know that he could get Devil Fruit easy. As time passed and if he found Fa Fing worthy, he would gift him one. He has already been thinking about what type of Devil Fruit to gift him if he gave him one. However, for now he still needed to know if this sea was the same in the One Piece world. Now that he has Fa Fing, he can test it out when he has the chance to. Although Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t wander around the city too much, he still went outside. The Inn gave him ok food, but a restaurant had better food. He noticed that there were more and more people arriving in town, he figured that it was for the auction. He doesn¡¯t know how big these auctions are, but they must be big things in this world. That, or this time the auction house had some special items they were getting rid of. Whatever it was, Yan D. Yu already decided he would attend the auction. He needed to anyways to see how his vivre card would sell. That, and he needed to collect his money from the sale. Miss Chun sent him an invitation to a party, but he didn¡¯t attend. Being sure that there would be high class figures there, he didn¡¯t want to get involved in their affairs. If he attended, he was sure that trouble would happen. That wasn¡¯t the only reason he didn¡¯t attend, the other being he didn¡¯t have any other clothes to wear. Buying some clothing from the system was easy, but he didn¡¯t want to buy anymore. At least not now. After Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t attend the party, Miss Chun sent him a card. It was a platium card he didn¡¯t know what it was used for, but he would find out sooner or later. It was now the day of the auction, but since it wouldn¡¯t start until the evening most of the people who were going to attend stayed in their rooms. A few went around the city buying things they found interesting. Fa Fing stepped into Yan D. Yu¡¯s room. ¡°Brother Yan, he has arrived!¡± Fa Fing told Yan D. Yu who was laying on his bed reading ¡®Foundations of Qi¡¯. ¡°Who?¡± Yan D. Yu asked. ¡°Lu Chen! You didn¡¯t forget our agreement did you?¡± Yan D. Yu laughed as he put the book into his spatial ring. ¡°Of course not, how did you find out he arrived?¡± Fa Fing rubbed his nose and smiled. ¡°I have my ways. Anyways, he is staying at ¡®Peerless Inn¡¯, but i¡¯m not sure if it is room twenty or twenty-one.¡± Yan D. Yu nodded and got up from his bed. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°You mean right now? It¡¯s too early, can¡¯t you wait until night?¡± Yan D. Yu put on his orange hat and shook his head. ¡°No can do, we are leaving after the auction.¡± ¡°That is too soon, I still need to settle things with my aunt. I can¡¯t just leave her living here!¡± Yan D. Yu knew about Fa Fing¡¯s situation, and about his aunt. He already decided that he would help Fa Fing out with his aunt, but he needed the money from the auction house first. What she did with the money, he could care less. ¡°Ok, we won¡¯t leave exactly right after the auction. You¡¯ll see her today, but we are still leaving today.¡± Yan D. Yu told him. Fa Fing seemed hesitant at first, but still agreed. He thought that he would get to spend a little more time with his aunt, but he was fine with it. Already being together for ten years was enough, he knew that they would part ways eventually. If he joined a sect years ago then he would have been parted from her, but that didn¡¯t happen. He was already fifteen, by the law in this world at sixteen he would be considered an adult. It was time for him to grow up and stop living under his aunts roof. Together with Yan D. Yu, they went over to ¡®Peerless Inn¡¯. Yan D. Yu was a little too straightforward and directly walked upstairs to room twenty. He knocked on the room door for room twenty while he had Fa Fing knock on twenty-one. Fa Fing shook his head when a woman answered the door. Yan D. Yu was going to continue knocking on the door, but he started hearing panting and moaning coming from the room. Turning to look at Fa Fing who arrived next to him he asked, ¡°Did Lu Chen bring a woman with him?¡± ¡°How am I supposed to know? I only found out where he was staying and room number.¡± Fa Fing replied as his face blushed a bit. Yan D. Yu figured that he knew what was going on in that room. He was at that age afterall. However blushing from it? That was another thing. Yan D. Yu back on earth was a master at watching porn, there was no need to blush. ¡°Well, guess there is only one way to find out.¡± Yan D. Yu told him as he kicked open the door. The woman who was on top of the man riding him, turned her head and screamed. She grabbed the white sheet as she covered herself up. The man who was enjoying the pleasure was a fit man, with a few scars on his chest. Hearing the door get broken down, his face blackened. ¡°Who the hell are you? Where are my guards?¡± He asked Yan D. Yu and Fa Fing. Both Yan D. Yu and Fa Fing looked at each other, wondering what guards did this guy have. They came here, and easily broke into this room. There was no one standing guard, so what the heck is he talking about. Yan D. Yu looked at the woman, she wasn¡¯t ugly at all. Her appearance didn¡¯t lose to Miss Chun who was at the auction. As she watched his eye¡¯s, she tightened her grip over the sheets that covered her body. ¡°Let¡¯s cut to the chase, are you Lu Chen?¡± Yan D. Yu asked him. ¡°Why? Who sent you, was it Lu Bi? Maybe Chong Chi? Whatever they paid, i¡¯ll double it!¡± Lu Chen told him. ¡°I¡­ actually I do want your money! However, I also have someone who wants information. Besides, if I want your money, i¡¯ll just take it!¡± Saying that, Yan D. Yu laughed madly. The woman slowly slipped off of the bed, and had her back on the wall as she made her way to her clothes. Yan D. Yu pointed at her, ¡°You, go back over there.¡± She wanted to speak out, but Yan D. Yu¡¯s finger light up with purple flames. Once she had seen that, she didn¡¯t dare say another word. She started cursing Lu Chen for taking an interest in her at the brothel. Now because of the stuff happening with him, she was now involved! As she looked over Yan D. Yu¡¯s body, she suddenly thought it wouldn¡¯t be that bad being taken by him. Maybe she could manipulate him, using him for her own purposes. ¡°What information? I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Lu Chen said. ¡°Lies, my aunt said your name!¡± Fa Fing spoke up. Lu Chen looked at Fa Fing, ¡°Who the hell are you? Don¡¯t tell me she got pregnant and wants me to take responsibility for it? Go back and tell her it was a one time thing.¡± Fa Fing clenched his fist with anger. What type of person was this? He couldn¡¯t even imagine how many woman this man played around with. ¡°What do you know about the Li clan?¡± Fa Fing asked him. Lu Chen¡¯s eyes grew big as he realized something. He started laughing, ¡°I see now. You¡¯re that brat! I didn¡¯t think you were still alive, this must be fate.¡± Fa Fing drew out a silver needle from his sleeves, ¡°I won¡¯t ask again, tell me what you know about the Li clan!¡± ¡°Haha, I think you are asking the wrong question. Isn¡¯t it better to know who killed your family? Or, should I say your ¡®family¡¯? No matter, come on, kill me? You have nowhere to hide! Once he finds out where you are, it is only a matter of time before he comes for you.¡± Lu Chen started laughing. Watching the way Lu Chen was speaking, Yan D. Yu thought that some of what he said could be true. Watching Fa Fing¡¯s face change, he couldn¡¯t just let Lu Chen play with his emotions. ¡°What are you talking about? Stop playing with the kid, and tell him what is going on, then your death will be a lot less painful.¡± Yan D. Yu said. ¡°You think I fear death? Ha, come, I embrace it!¡±Lu Chen had his hand under the pillow, but suddenly it moved out as he threw a dagger towards Yan D. Yu. As the dagger came towards him, he moved his head slightly left and a purple flame flew towards Lu Chen¡¯s head. Lu Chen wasn¡¯t a cultivator, he just had a lot of money. To put it in other words, he was still a mortal. He had no way to dodge Yan D. Yu¡¯s fire bullet, his head snapped back as he hit the bed. Seeing Lu Chen die, the woman vomited. She has seen people beaten close to death, but never has she seen anyone die. She wondered what Yan D. Yu wanted with her. If it wasn¡¯t for him pointing his finger at her with that purple flame, she would have fled. She wiped her mouth and glanced at Lu Chen¡¯s dead body, almost vomiting again. Would what happened to him, happen to her as well? ¡°What do we do with her?¡± Yan D. Yu asked Fa Fing. Fa Fing was still trying to take in what Lu Chen said, he couldn¡¯t make heads of it. If what he told him was correct, then his parents weren¡¯t really his parents. If they weren¡¯t, then who was? He still needed to find out who was looking for him? Could it have been Lin Xia? Now that Lu Chen is dead, he has to find Lin Xia. Except, he doesn¡¯t know where he is at. This world is big, and he knows that. Since Yan D. Yu is going to travel the world, it only solidified his reason to go along with him. Fa Fing needs to get to the bottom of this. Yan D. Yu tapped his shoulder, seeing that he wasn¡¯t responding. ¡°Hey, what do you want to do to you?¡± Fa Fing looked at him with surprise before he looked at the woman. He wasn¡¯t the type of person to kill innocent people, but she has already seen his face! She heard the things that happened here, so if she were to escape, she could leak this information out. If ¡®that¡¯ person heard it, he would be sure to come find him. Fa Fing didn¡¯t want her to die, but she also couldn¡¯t leave. He looked up at Yan D. Yu, ¡°Can¡¯t we take her as a prisoner? At least until we get far away from here?¡± Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t think he would say that. This guy poisoned a kid, he thought that he would at least say kill her. Turns out, that this kid wasn¡¯t as bad as he thought he was. ¡°Get yourself dressed, you are coming with us.¡± Yan D. Yu told the woman. Hearing what he said, her body stiffened. Why would she want to become a prisoner? What if they sold her off? Selling her off was different from her selling herself! She did that to earn a living, but if they sold her off to someone then she would become a slave. Yan D. Yu seeing that the woman wasn¡¯t moving told her again. ¡°Get dressed, it isn¡¯t like you are shy about your body. We are two innocent boys, we don¡¯t have the hearts of a tiger.¡± Yan D. Yu pointed towards some clothes that were on the ground. ¡°Fa Fing, go see if he had a spatial ring or something. Since he said he would pay more than our ¡®employers¡¯ he must have brought a lot of money with him. Whatever is in there, you can give to your aunt.¡± Fa Fing nodded his head as he walked over to the clothes and started rummaging through them. As he was doing that, the woman slowly walked over to her clothes and picked them up. Dropping the white sheet around her body, she gave Yan D. Yu an eye full. She took a quick peek at Yan D. Yu to see if he was looking, but he was watching over Fa Fing. Taking this chance, she quickly put her clothes on. She was use to getting dressed and undressed quickly. What she didn¡¯t know was that Yan D. Yu already took a glance at her. It was a quick glance, but enough for him to see what she was working with. His heartbeat sped up as this was his first time seeing a real life naked woman. Yan D. Yu was definitely not the type of person who would force a woman to do things against her will. Unlike those pirates in this world who did that, he would not. His definition of pirates were different than theirs. Fa Fing grinned as he pulled out two spatial rings. One was bronze and another was blue. He put both on his fingers as he checked to see what was inside. ¡°Brother Yan, this guy was loaded! I¡¯m rich!¡± He shouted. ¡°Right¡­ make sure to take care of your aunt. After you talk to her, meet me at the auction house. If you can¡¯t get in tell Bing Zu my name, i¡¯ll tell him you are coming.¡± Yan D. Yu explained to him. He looked at the woman, and told her she was coming with him. Together, they headed to the auction house. There were multiple times she felt like escaping, but everytime she tried to make her move, Yan D. Yu would look at her. After a few failed attempts, she gave up hope and resigned to her fate. This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Yan D. Yu arrived at the auction house ahead of time. He was greeted by Bing Zu, who was more than happy to see him. Yan D. Yu had to explain to him why he didn¡¯t attend the party, but Bing Zu said it didn¡¯t mean much to him. It was Miss Chun who was upset he didn¡¯t show. As they were talking, Yan D. Yu told him that he would be expecting someone to find him later. Bing Zu understood and made arrangements for Fa Fing when he arrived. Seeing that Yan D. Yu came ahead of time, he wanted to know why, but Yan D. Yu said he didn¡¯t have anything else to do. Bing Zu showed him to his room he would have during the auction. It was a VIP room on the upper floors, having a long couch and three chairs. There was a curtain to hide others from seeing inside, Bing Zu told him if he wanted to bid on something he would have to press a button so his room would light up when he shouted out a price. ¡­.. In the Le clan mansion, Le Li and Le Jie were both meditating. Suddenly Le Li sighed as he let his back hit the ground and stretched his arms out. ¡°Le Jie, why couldn¡¯t we see big bro today?¡± ¡°Because you are bound to tell him.¡± She spoke quickly as she had her eyes closed. ¡°He is bound to find out sooner or later, I don¡¯t know why we have to keep it a secret. Even if dad said we couldn¡¯t tell anyone, doesn¡¯t he deserve to know?¡± ¡°Be quiet, if dad wanted him to know, then he would tell him. Besides, how do you think he would respond if we just went ¡®Brother Yan, did you know you have an older half sister? Or that your mother is still alive and currently missing?¡¯ Think about it realistically for once, let him live his life.¡± Le Li sighed. Such a big tale, and he couldn¡¯t even tell his older brother something that involved his family. He still didn¡¯t understand how Yan D. Yu¡¯s mother survived. A few days after Yan D. Yu disappeared, an old lady came and took his mothers corpse. She beat up Le Long leaving him bedridden for two months, while also cursing at their mother. The old lady said that if it wasn¡¯t for the treasure she put in her body, she really would be dead. With her was a young girl, who rushed to Yan D. Yu¡¯s mother side crying. That was a day none of them could forget. They found out Yan D. Yu¡¯s mother had another child, and that Yan D. Yu¡¯s grandmother has been searching for her. The old lady told the Le Clan if they appeared before her again, she would murder them all. She scared them, so no one had the guts to tell her about Yan Yu. If she were to find out that she had a great-grandson and he was missing, they knew it would be over for them. They were lucky enough to still be here today. After that, everyone who witnessed what happened never spoke of it again. No one thought that they would see Yan D. Yu again, but they did. He appeared like a ghost, showing up when they least expected it. Le Li was tempted to tell him, but he couldn¡¯t. ¡°I just hope they end up meeting again¡­¡± ¡­. Fa Fing entered the room where Yan D. Yu was located. He easily found the woman who was with them earlier, she was seated far away from Yan D. Yu. He wondered what happened between those two, but didn¡¯t ask. Some things were best left unsaid. As he sat down in a seat next to Yan D. Yu, he took out a note. It was folded up nicely, he passed it to Yan D. Yu. Grabbing it, he wondered what it was. ¡°My aunt told me to give it to you. I didn¡¯t read it, she said that I shouldn¡¯t.¡± Fa Fing told him. Yan D. Yu couldn¡¯t believe that this guy wouldn¡¯t read this note, surely he was tempted to. He opened it up to see what it was about. ¡®Mr. Yan, I must say that you are someone quite special. I¡¯ve never seen my nephew so happy when speaking of someone before. He told me you are a mortal who can hold his own against four Sage realm experts. Therefore, I feel that he is safe in your care. It was time for Li Yang to leave the nest. Every child wants to have an adventure, and gain fame along the way. I feel sad that he is leaving so soon, but it was inevitable. I must thank you in advance for caring for him. There are some things that can¡¯t be said, but he will want to know. He thirst for revenge, but he is not strong enough. I won¡¯t tell you either, because you are also not capable of helping him with his problem. Just be safe on your journey. If you happen to come across anyone you can¡¯t deal with, please make sure Li Yang runs away. He is my jewel, it is already hard for me to part with him. I¡¯m not going to carry on, just please keep him safe. Hopefully the next time we meet, he¡¯ll be a whole new person.¡¯ Reading the note made him feel that there was something about Fa Fing she wasn¡¯t telling him. Fa Fing didn¡¯t know what was special about himself, but Yan D. Yu had a gut feeling he wasn¡¯t normal. The note soon caught on fire, as it burned to ash. Yan D. Yu was surprised, but didn¡¯t say anything. It seems that in this world, there are indeed many mysteries. ¡­. The auction began, as many items were put on display. The bidding was fierce, but Yan D. Yu wasn¡¯t interested in any of the items they had. Fa Fing was interested in a box of golden needles, so Yan D. Yu bid on them for him. Behind the auction in a private room was Miss Chun. She was seated in front of an old man. His face might have showed that he was old, but he had rippling muscles. This was her grandfather. ¡°Grandfather, what do you think? Those vivre cards are quite the item right?¡± She asked him. ¡°Indeed, Chun¡¯er you¡¯ve done good. Now, tell me why you want to leave.¡± He told her. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± She asked him playing dumb. ¡°Chun¡¯er, i¡¯ve raised you. I know you wouldn¡¯t call me here just for this item, you could have just explained it in a letter. The last time you called me to come in person was when you wanted to go to one of those sects. Now you call me again, you must want to leave.¡± He explained to her. His tone was caring as he spoke with her. Miss Chun didn¡¯t speak, it was like her mouth was glued down. ¡°Chun¡¯er, I won¡¯t ask. You are old enough to make your own decisions now. I¡¯ve protected you for years, I think you are capable of deciding your own future. I¡¯ve also thought about it, and decided to join up with the Alliance again. To be honest, I wanted you to come with me, but I know you wouldn¡¯t want to. Just be safe, I don¡¯t want any harm to come to you.¡± Miss Chun had tears in her eyes hearing her grandfather''s words. She was thinking up a way to tell him that she wanted to leave for the longest, but she couldn''t put it into words. She got up and jumped into his arms giving him a big hug. ¡°Thank you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t thank me just yet.¡± He said as he pulled out a piece of a vivre card, he passed it to her. ¡°I want to know where you are at and anything else, I don¡¯t think I need to say anymore.¡± He told her. She nodded her head as she bit her finger drawing blood. A drop it the vivre card as she gave it back to her grandfather. ¡°I¡¯ll see you later grandfather.¡± She told him as she bounced out of the room. After she left, he sighed. ¡°Just like your mother.¡± ¡­. Yan D. Yu walked out of the auction house with a giant smile on his face. That platinum card was a bank card he could use at any of the auction houses to get money or use to buy things they put up for auction. His vivre card sold for around a billion each, which meant that he was rich. At least he didn¡¯t need to worry about money for a long time. Fa Fing was by his side also grinning. He happened to have a good pal that brought him some golden needles. How could he not be happy? Now his strength would increase even more, and he could try out some new moves. Why shouldn¡¯t he be happy about it. The only one who wasn¡¯t happy was the woman who was forced to come along with them. She felt wronged in so many ways, but what could she do? The strong ruled the weak, it was just the law of the world. ¡°Brother Yan, where to next?¡± Fa Fing asked him. ¡°I don¡¯t know, wherever the wind blows.¡± Yan D. Yu told him. To be honest, he didn¡¯t have a goal of where he should go next. There were many options, and he still wanted to search for those Devil Fruit. He already had a few bounty missions that he still wanted to complete. Maybe on his journey, he would be able to complete them. ¡°What do you mean? Besides, how are we going to get around?¡± Fa Fing asked him confused. ¡°I¡¯ve got my ways.¡± Yan D. Yu responded as he closed his eyes. Compared to the other things in the system, the boats and ships were cheap. He already knew what type of ship he wanted. As he wanted to purchase the ship, the admin asked him if he wanted to customize it. Yan D. Yu told him sure, and the admin started explaining the things that he could customize. Naturally one of them was the Jolly Roger emblem, which he changed. He already knew his name now, so he made the Jolly Roger emblem to mean the same thing. Next he created and changed a few rooms around. The ship he picked had its own engine, but it was supplied by materials that he didn¡¯t have. Instead, he decided to change it to where it would run off of his flames. The total cost of the ship was 35000 points. It wasn¡¯t a small ship either, bigger than what Luffy had. As he opened his eyes, there was something hovering in the sky. Fa Fing and the woman looked up at the giant island floating in the sky. They didn¡¯t even know how it appeared! Yan D. Yu laughed, as he produced a rope and tied the woman''s arms up. Now that he had his ship, he had a problem. He could get up to it, but how would those two? ¡°Yan D. Yu, you aren¡¯t thinking about leaving without me are you?¡± A sweet voice called out from behind him. He turned his head, and spotted Miss Chun in a green dress. ¡°Why are you here?¡± He asked her. ¡°Naturally, i¡¯m going with you.¡± He didn¡¯t know why she wanted to join him, but he didn¡¯t refuse. He figured maybe she could cook, so he was alright with her joining. He pointed towards the floating island, ¡°Think you can get those two up there?¡± Miss Chun looked up, and nodded her head. She produced two swords, that floated in the air. ¡°Yes! These swords are what my grandfather calls ¡®Flying Swords¡¯, he found them in a ruin and gave them to me.¡± Yan D. Yu nodded his head. ¡°Give one to Fa Fing, you can take the woman up there.¡± Saying that, he jumped off the ground and his arms turned into purple fiery wings. Flying high in the sky, he landed on top of the island. It was different from a floating piece of rock. This was something that Shiki used the ¡®Island Ship¡¯ except there were a few things he changed. The top was still a ship, with a lot of rooms. It was basically like its own city. Yan D. Yu didn¡¯t know how big his crew would be, but even if it was small, he still wanted this ship. It was able to be used in the air, or in the sea. Who knows what kind of things he would find in this world. Soon after, the other three came up landing on the ship. Their eyes were wide open and jaws dropped. Anyone would be like this when seeing Shiki¡¯s ship, it was in a world of its own. ¡°Brother Yan¡­ where did this come from?¡± Fa Fing asked as he swallowed his saliva. ¡°I have my ways.¡± Yan D. Yu replied. ¡°Fine, but what¡¯s the name of the ship and your pirate crew? You still haven¡¯t told me.¡± Fa Fing said as he touched the ground, feeling to see if the grass was real. Yan D. Yu seemed to remember something. ¡°That¡¯s right, our pirate crews name is¡­.¡±
End of the first arc, I want to thank you for reading my Fic. I have something in mind for the pirate crews name, but i''m still liking some of the names you guys gave me. I liked how most of you thought it would be Sunny for the ship, I was actually going to make it the Going Merry xD, but talking with my friend made me change my mind. He gave me an idea for a story arc, so I went with this ship instead. As many of you have said, he should have made his own ship with the technology in this world, and i''m all for that. I have some ideas about how his ship will be customized even further. As this is the last chapter in the arc, it is also longer. Once again, if you have any ideas or suggestions for the story, let me know. I''m more than happy to hear about them. Also, I won''t be posting chapters for a bit as I said in my other novel, that I am moving. So once I get settled in, i''ll continue posting. I might go to the library at Uni, to continue writing, I don''t know yet. Anyways, hope you enjoyed what i''ve written so far! We are at 38k words for 17 chapters, not bad. Chapter 18 - No direction Laying down in the soft grass gazing up at the blue sky and white clouds was a young man. His hands behind his head as he let the wind sweep past his bare chest. Next to him was an orange hat. ¡°Yan, what are you thinking about?¡± A sweet voiced called out to him. Tilting his head back, he caught a woman wearing a short velvet dress. It was tight fitting showing off all her curves. At first, he did not want to buy more clothes, but he couldn¡¯t stand the sight of his crew wearing the same thing like everyone else. They were hesitant at first, but slowly came to terms with it. The outfit was the same one Baby 5 from One piece wore, and with her looks it made it even more perfect. ¡°Nothing Leah. Is the food done?¡± He asked her. She giggled, ¡°Is that all you ever think about?¡± ¡°Of course not! It has already been a week since we left Shing City, but there were countless people aiming for our ship. Do you know how much this thing cost? Like hell I would let them take it!¡± During the week they left Shing City, there were many watchful eyes. They all had an urge to take over his ship, but he couldn¡¯t let them. Therefore, he fought them all, and won. There was one older man who he couldn¡¯t kill, but he didn¡¯t lose either. Yan got off with a few wounds, but he ran out of energy to continue battling. Because of the phoenix powers, his healing ability far surpasses that of others. The old man had cuts and burns all over his body, but he still had energy left for a few more rounds. He would have been more than willing to continue fighting Yan for his ship, but his energy was low and he couldn¡¯t defend against the Sage realm expert with Yan. Thus, he fled. Yan learned from her that he was a low ranking Master Sage, and that he probably just broke through. She said after the old man stabilized his Qi, that Yan wouldn¡¯t be able to fight him to a standstill. It was only then that he learned he wasn¡¯t all that strong. Maybe if he had more energy, he could have won. Except, he didn¡¯t. If he put his strength into the realms in this world, he would be considered a person who is just below a Low ranking Master Sage. How could he, the person who is going to be Pirate King accept such a thing? Thankfully Leah was here with him and she taught him ways that he could increase his cultivation strength. He wasn¡¯t talented in cultivation, he was actually below average having no talent in cultivation whatsoever. If he didn¡¯t have a Devil Fruit, then he wouldn¡¯t be as strong as he was today. During the first few days on the ship, they each explored the giant island. More than five hundred rooms that could be filled with people. Five different kitchens, a study, and a map room. Thanks to Leah¡¯s advice, he was able to customize the ship even further adding a room big enough to hold five different master arrays. A medical room, and a cultivation room for others to cultivate in. These rooms were empty now, because they didn¡¯t have a person who could make arrays for them. No medic to use the medical room, and they needed at least four Sage¡¯s to be able to make a special array for the cultivation room. Once the special array was finished, it would help increase the cultivation speed. Leah told him that this ship was weak and that the weapons here wouldn¡¯t do enough damage to other cultivators ships. It was a good start for a base, but it still needed to be built upon to make it better. She knew what Cannons were, but said if the cannons on this ship were to be used, it would only be good enough to kill a low ranking magical beast. It was best to have magical beast cannons on the ship instead. She gave Yan a list of things that needed to be done before they came across a strong cultivator who had a ship of their own. When all that was finished, Yan decided that they should come up with different names. That way, it would be faster when speaking to each other, and no one would be able to make out their identities. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Why would they want to change their names? Their parents named them, so it meant a great amount to them. However, Yan then gave them multiple reasons as to why it was needed and they reluctantly agreed to it. Yan D. Yu¡¯s name was shortened up to Yan. Miss Chun was now Leah, Fa Fing was Dex, and Mi Li (Prisoner) is now named Vixen. Naturally Yan came up with these names, based on how he felt. He called Mi Li Vixen because of how he met her, that was the only reason. As for Miss Chun, she looked like a model from his world named Leah Smitterson. Fa Fing reminded him of an old movie where the doctor was killing his patients with poison, thus naming him Dex. ¡°So, have you thought about what I told you?¡± Leah asked him as she leaned against a rock. ¡°Yeah, i¡¯ve given it some thought. You really think we should find an alchemist?¡± She nodded. ¡°Yes, it isn¡¯t only for you, but for all of us. With me and you fighting on the front lines, that would leave Dex and Vixen behind with no power to protect themselves. If we can get an alchemist, they¡¯ll be able to make us cultivation pills which will increase our strength! It is a must.¡± Leah has been bugging him about finding an alchemist for the longest time now, but he didn¡¯t know if they were all that important. Currently they were just flying around with no direct destination, so he could afford to get one. Besides Leah bugging him about getting an alchemist, she was usually easy to get along with. He did have to admit she was right on a lot of things. She knew more about this world than he did, and her cultivation base was higher than his. Even Dex called her a genius, but Yan didn¡¯t believe him. When he first met Dex, he told him he was a genius doctor. A kid who calls himself a genius doctor without even being a doctor? What type of genius was that? Yan jumped up, grabbed his hat and threw it on. ¡°Vixen is coming.¡± Leah turned her head, and there she was coming out of the kitchen door with a giant fork in hand. Yan was lucky, he didn¡¯t know that he picked up a prize as a prisoner. She knew her way around the kitchen, which meant he had a way to fill his stomach. In Shing City, her cooking skills would compare with a three star restaurant. Eating food like that everyday was not bad at all. ¡°I still don¡¯t understand how you do that.¡± Leah told him. Yan smiled, ¡°Maybe you¡¯ll be able to as well.¡± When he said that, he meant it. If his crew could learn some kind of Haki, then he would be more than ecstatic. ¡°Foods done!¡± She yelled out at them, before turning around going back into the kitchen. Yan did miss Yu Ying and her daughter, but he wasn¡¯t willing to take them with him. In this world, on his adventure, he wouldn¡¯t take any chances. Although it wasn¡¯t long, those two left an impression on him. He couldn¡¯t afford them being caught up in the fights, they were only mortal after all. Although Vixen seemed like a mortal, she wasn¡¯t. She was a low ranking Entry realm cultivator. She had a background story to tell as well, but she didn¡¯t seem she wanted to share it with them. Leah told him that if they found an array master who had reached the seventh rank in forming arrays, they could form a protection array around the ship. An eight rank array master could inscribe inscriptions on people. Yan hoped he could meet one of them soon, because he felt a strange urge to have Yu Ying and her daughter on board. Maybe it was because Yu Ying was a mother, and he missed that kind of feeling. He didn¡¯t know what kind of feeling it was he had towards them. However, he knew that they would meet each other again.
Not back yet, but had this chapter typed up. Prologue into the coming arc, decided to release it. It is short..... -shrugs- Chapter 19 - A new town In the sea was a very large ship, or should I say island? It wasn¡¯t moving too fast, but if compared to a normal ship, it could easily beat it in a race. This island ship was home to the Red Dawn pirates. Yan had a hard time coming up with this name, but he finally choose it. The name didn¡¯t have a special meaning to him, but it was a name that everyone could easily remember. Something that would leave a great legacy behind even after he is long gone. Yan was afraid of others coming to take his ship, but when he tried to let Leah steer and control the ship, it wouldn¡¯t budge for her. He even tried to have Dex and Vixen give it a try, but the ship also would not move for them either. He came to the conclusion that no one else would be able to control his ship. Maybe it was due to it running off of his flames, or something the system did, whatever it was, he didn¡¯t know the answer. A day ago they were flying in the sky, but now they were in riding in the sea. It was nice to fly in the sky, but there wasn¡¯t a need for them to be in the sky at the moment. Besides, it would be too much for them to continue using the flying swords. They only had two of them, but as the crew grows bigger, it would not be enough. So the only option was for them to be in the sea. It was easier for people to get on the ship from the sea rather than fly in the sky. The island ship also had a secret room located at the bottom of it, that stored smaller ships. Yan picked up his solo boat, while Leah brought a small ship big enough for twenty people. Yan decided that it was time to announce his arrival in the world. He needed to show the alliance that they had someone to be aware of, a group they should fear. Today was the day that the Red Dawn pirate crew would show their face. There was a few bounty missions he decided to do this time. With Leah¡¯s information he was able to find a suitable headmaster of the alliance. This person''s strength was at the peak of the Sage realm, while also having around five thousand disciples in his sect. His bounty missions included; Killing a headmaster from the alliance, killing a thousand alliance disciples, robbing ten thousand silver, burn the alliance¡¯s branch sect, and a couple of other missions. Yan found out from the system that he could complete as many bounty missions as he could. If he completed a certain amount of missions in a day, then the bounty system would reward him. Yan was not going to do the type of bounty missions that could only be completed if he raped people, burned or skinned their body, kill children etc. He wasn¡¯t that type of person. He was hesitant about killing a thousand alliance disciples, but Leah told him that not all alliance disciples were good. His first task would be to check out the town to see what it was like and what type of influence the alliance had on the town. He wasn¡¯t one to protect the citizens, but he wasn¡¯t heartless enough to let them suffer either. Yan put his orange hat on his head as he turned his head to Leah, Dex, and Vixen. They were on a black ship, with Vixen at the helm. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yan said as the solo boat flew out at lightning fast speed with his purple flames as the source. As his solo boat flew across the sea, he caught sight of a port. The others were behind him, he couldn¡¯t see their faces but only the ship. Yan went to dock his solo boat. After waiting for almost half an hour, the others arrived. They docked the ship, as they all got out. Vixen was wearing an outfit like Koala¡¯s, except she didn¡¯t have the hat. She let her hair flow in the wind. Even Yan had to admit, she was damn hot. As for Dex, Yan let him wear the outfit Basil Hawkins wore before the timeskip. When he first saw it, his eyes almost popped out in amazement. The quality was top notch, and it made him look like a badass. Although he wasn¡¯t all that fit, thanks to him cultivating it still looked good on him. He didn¡¯t need words to describe Leah, she looked good in anything. Yan looked at Dex, ¡°You and Vixen go find us an inn. Two rooms, that should be enough. Book it for four days.¡± Dex nodded his head. Yan was still suspicious of Vixen, although she cooked them food and seemed to enjoy being with them, he couldn¡¯t be too careful. It wasn¡¯t easy going from a prisoner to a comrade. Who knew if she would still want to run away. With Dex with her, he could keep an eye on her. Dex and Vixen both left, leaving Yan and Leah alone. ¡°Let¡¯s check out the town, afterwards see if you can get into the sect. With you inside, we¡¯ll be able to gain a lot more information.¡± Leah nodded her head as they both left the port. The first thing that caught their eye when they entered the town was the dozen or so beggars. Skinny, with ripped clothes and dark rings around their eyes. A few held signs up, while others were on the ground with damaged goods in front trying to sell them. Yan saw this scene tons of times back in his other world. There, some people dressed up like homeless people to get free money, but here, he knew that it wouldn¡¯t be the same. Who would lower their standards down, just to make a little change? Leah glanced at them for a moment, but turned her head away from them not saying anything. She didn¡¯t need to say anything, Yan could see it in her eyes. She grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth, this was probably her first time seeing something like this. Even in Shing city, the poorest of people still had a home to back to. Here, it was different. Yan wasn¡¯t going to be the type of person who would go up to them and give them some gold or silver for free. However he couldn¡¯t let this go. He was still human, he had a heart. Even if everything else changed about him, his heart would never change. Yan walked over to the dozen or so beggars. Leah walked over with him by his side, while the beggars eyes lite up like fireworks. Naturally one of the reasons why their eyes lite up was because they never saw someone so daring to walk around naked. Even the woman by his side was showing a lot of skin, which wasn¡¯t something a normal woman would ever do. Still, business was business. They wouldn¡¯t dare provoke these two, if they wanted their damaged goods, then so be it! A few of them started shinning their goods, while others put on smiles and pointed to their goods. Anyone who had a decent heart seeing this scene would be unable to bear it. How could you not toss a little change to them? ¡°Sir, my goods are excellent! They¡¯ve been in my family for many years, however i¡¯ll sell it to you for a good price! 2¡­ no, 1 gold coin!¡± A young boy with dirt over his face started advertising his goods. Yan took a quick look, but it was only a broken mirror. ¡°Miss, you¡¯re pretty, I have this necklace that could turn even a skeleton into a goddess!¡± ¡°No, buy my goods!¡± The advertising continued as they tried to have Yan and Leah buy their goods. In their hearts, they knew that no one would buy their broken things, but they still had to try. Usually one would ignore them and continue walking away, or curse at them, however Yan and Leah approached them. Naturally it gave them hope. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Yan shook his hands, ¡°I don¡¯t want any of your goods, I just want information. I¡¯ll give you compensation for everything that you know about this town. One piece of information per person.¡± ¡°Sir! Th-¡± A few voices shouted out, but when Yan glared at them they shut up. His glare was cold, they could feel it in their bones. He was not someone they should mess with. ¡°Don¡¯t shout, line up in order. One by one, you¡¯ll tell me what you know.¡± Yan gave a command. The beggars followed it too, slowly forming a line. The old people who could hardly stand were held up by some of the younger. One by one, they gave Yan information regarding the town. Some of it was related to the sect by the town, while some was related to the town itself. It gave Yan a general idea of what happened to the town. Yan gave all of them fifty gold coins, he didn¡¯t think that was enough for them, but it was more than what they were worth. Even the information they gave could be overheard in a tavern, or an inn. Instead of doing that, he listened to them and compensated them. Leah didn¡¯t say a word the whole time, it seemed as if she was in deep thought the whole time. Maybe she still couldn¡¯t wrap her head around the sight, but this was only the beginning. The world was big, not every place could be a holy land. Where there is light, there is bound to be darkness. This may be her first time ever coming across a small amount of darkness. Afterall, with her grandfathers power, and the vast amount of money made from the auction house, who would dare harm them? She knew that the strong ruled over the weak, but she didn¡¯t think it would be as drastic as this. Yan tapped her on the shoulder. She looked up and him, ¡°Let¡¯s go, this was only at the entrance.¡± He told her. Nodding her head, she followed him. However before she left, she took one more look behind her. The beggars were in tears as they held the gold in their hands. She turned and glanced at Yan from the corner of her eye. ¡®Was I mistaken?¡¯ Just as Yan told her, that was only the entrance. As they continued to walk around the town, they spotted more and more sights like that at the entrance. At everyone, Yan did the same thing. He made them get in a line and tell him information about the town. Most of the information was old, while a couple of things were new. As they left the beggars, she couldn¡¯t help but see Yan in a new light. When she heard him say that he was a pirate, she already had an image in her head. That image was thoroughly shattered now. ¡°Yan¡­ what kind of pirate are you?¡± She couldn¡¯t help but ask him. Yan looked at her for a moment, then turned back. ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m just a normal one.¡± She shook her head, ¡°From what I know, pirates would not do what you are doing. Instead, they would kick those beggars while they are down. You aren¡¯t like that, you¡¯re different.¡± Yan laughed a little. ¡°I¡¯m normal, they aren¡¯t. The greatest thing one could do, is never forget where they came from. Don¡¯t get me wrong, i¡¯m not a nice guy. I¡¯m a pirate, naturally i¡¯ll take what I want.¡± Yan learned a few things from the beggars. One was that this town was called Skyfall Town and that it was doing good until last year. Before, the alliance had no reason to put up a sect in this town, but then they found out some people who committed murders long ago hid here. Now they opened up a sect here, to get rid of all those murders who came here to escape. With them came their disciples who thought they were the best and brightest. It was a minor sect without a lot of strength, even the headmaster was only a Sage realm cultivator. However, he was still the strongest person here. When the disciples were bored, they came here in secret and bullied the citizens of the town. Yan learned that some of the beggars could be considered noble figures in this town, but were made to give up their items in exchange for their life. They knew that the disciples wouldn¡¯t murder them, but that didn¡¯t mean they wouldn¡¯t tear up their house, mess with their food, and cut of their friendships with others. If they did that, they would really die. Some said they would tell the alliance on those disciples, but they retorted they are the alliance. How could the alliance disciples be such bad people? How could they go against all they said? This wasn¡¯t the alliance, this was an organization who used the alliances name in their favor! The citizens wanted to revolt, but when they started gathering a force, their livestocks disappeared. Money went missing, and debts grew. When this problem emerged, the people who wanted to revolt instantly dispersed! Yan¡¯s hesitation to murder those thousand disciples of the alliance went away. A thousand? Even if it was the whole sect, he would kill them all! It wasn¡¯t because of the people in the town, but because if he killed off a whole sect belonging to the alliance. His name would rise even higher! Yan was sitting in one of the only inns left open in Skyfall town. Dex, Vixen, and Leah were next to him at the table. He would normally order a lot of food for himself, but since food was low, he couldn¡¯t. ¡°Dex, you¡¯ll be with Vixen again. Secretly follow her around, while she gains information from some of the disciples who come to town.¡± Yan told Dex. Dex wanted to ask how she would gain information, but he soon understood. Vixen was a beauty, she would be able to easily capture the eyes of those disciples. Yan looked at Leah, ¡°Same plan. You¡¯ll still go and join that sect. Find out where the headmaster is, where the disciples hang out, anything that will be of help.¡± Leah nodded. ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Dex asked. ¡°I have a few ideas in mind. There should be a small village not too far from here, i¡¯m going to pay them a visit.¡± Yan told him. Dex didn¡¯t ask any more questions, he believed that Yan would do something productive. Yan also didn¡¯t tell Dex about what he heard was going on in that village. It was best to keep it to himself, and Leah more than likely wouldn¡¯t tell anyone. They enjoyed their meal, before they split up. As everyone left the inn, Yan was left sitting at the table. ¡°How long are you planning on hiding?¡± He asked. The table in front and behind him were both empty, so who could he be talking to. He didn¡¯t get an answer, so he turned around and pointed his finger at the empty table behind him. His finger lite up with purple flames. ¡°Still plan on being silent?¡± ¡°Fine.¡± A voice called out as the table that was empty, had a person sitting there. A middle aged man, who was wearing a gray robe asked. ¡°How did you know I was here?¡± The middle aged man asked. ¡°I have my ways.¡± Yan told him as he got up from his table and sat at the table the middle aged man was at. ¡°Now, shall we have a talk?¡±
Wrote this at the library in Uni, hope you enjoy. Chapter 20 - What can you do for me? ¡°Speak, what did you hear, who are you, and who do you work for?¡± Yan asked him quickly. The middle aged man folded his arms, and leaned back in his seat. ¡°I¡¯ve heard enough, as for who I am, that doesn¡¯t matter. I work for myself.¡± He told Yan. Yan was sure that this man in front of him was working for someone. He just arrived in this town, but someone was already investigating him. Yan thought that maybe he caused a disturbance when he was ¡®giving¡¯ away gold to the beggars. Yan crossed his legs like some mafia boss, and looked the middle aged man up and down. He couldn¡¯t tell if he was a member of some organization, worked for a noble figure, or worked for someone else. However, he had a good feeling that this man in front of him was part of something. ¡°Don¡¯t speak about yourself then, however you will speak of why you were listening to our conversation.¡± Yan spoke very authoritative. Seeing the way Yan was acting, the man let out a light laugh. He wouldn¡¯t show fear in front of Yan, if he did that, then Yan would know that he was in control. The man didn¡¯t know how Yan found him, so he still had to tread carefully. If he found him easily, then that must mean the man in front of him was special. ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be curious about a group of strangers, that dress weirdly. Although that isn¡¯t much to pay attention to, you also helped out those people on the streets. This itself caught my attention, so I wanted to know a bit more about you and your group.¡± The man put an emphasis on my, so that Yan wouldn¡¯t think that he was with someone else. ¡°Why would you care what I do? If that caught your attention, then did you want my money? Sorry to tell you, but it won¡¯t be that easy.¡± The man shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t care for your money, what I care for are the people on the streets.¡± Yan looked in his blue eyes, he couldn¡¯t tell if he was lying or not. If he really cared about those people, then wouldn¡¯t that mean he should help them? ¡°If you really cared, then why not help them out?¡± The man raised his eyebrow slightly, ¡°Very true, but I didn¡¯t need to. You came and helped them out before I could act.¡± ¡°You say I helped them, but that is where you are wrong. It was simply a trade, for information I gave them a little compensation.¡± It was true, it didn¡¯t help them simply because he was nice. He got information from them, and gave them compensation for it. What kind of pirate was nice? Hearing what Yan said, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Your words speak as if you don¡¯t care, but I see otherwise. I¡¯ve lived in this town my whole life, but four years ago I left for a small adventure. A week ago, I returned. In that week, there was no one who would do what you did. A man just arriving in this town, givi.. No, exchanging information with the poor. You are one of a kind.¡± ¡°Of course, there is no one else like me. There can be no other like me.¡± Yan said proudly. The middle aged man uncrossed his arms, ¡°So, what clan are you from, and why would you try to go against the alliance?¡± He asked. Yan uncrossed his legs, fixed his posture and started talking, ¡°I am not from a clan, as for the reason, I don¡¯t think you need to know that.¡± Pausing for a moment, he continued, ¡°We are both on guard, we can do this all day but in the end, it will lead us nowhere. Why don¡¯t you tell me what I can do for you, and what you can do for me.¡± Seeing how Yan changed his tone, the man didn¡¯t think Yan would be so direct. He got up from his seat, and walked away while waving for Yan to follow him. As he walked past the owner of the Inn, he nodded his head slightly and the owner gave him a quick look. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid i¡¯m leading you into an ambush?¡± He asked Yan who was following behind him. ¡°In my life, there are few things i¡¯m afraid of, and you aren¡¯t included.¡± Yan said as he followed the middle aged man into a back room. As he heard Yan¡¯s reply, the man laughed. He seemed to pick someone who had many things to say. As they both entered into the back room, Yan heard a series of gears moving around and he felt the floor beneath him shake. However, he still didn¡¯t lose his cool. A secret passage opened up, followed by some stairs leading underground. Yan followed the middle aged man as they both went down the stairs. ¡°Even before I left, this passage was here. My grandfather owned his place, but he passed it on to his friend later on. I come here when I need to, but back then I never would have thought that this place would become my home.¡± The man continued to speak about this passage as they traveled for at least ten minutes before arriving at a door. The man smiled and opened the door. A foul stench came out, it smelled like rotten corpses that died years ago. Yan pinched his nose, but that didn¡¯t help at all. As Yan stepped into the room, he caught sight of naked men and women varying of ages. Some had their eyes gouged out, body parts missing, there were a few that looked weird. However none of them were dead, it seemed they were still holding on to their life. They noticed the man and all of them shivered with great fear. ¡°What, you don¡¯t want to ask who they are?¡± The man asked Yan. The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. It was unusual as one would ask him who were these people and why were they down here. He expected Yan to have the same type of attitude, but he didn¡¯t. ¡°I don¡¯t care. What you do is your business.¡± Was Yan¡¯s reply. ¡°Good, good. It seems we can have a long lasting friendship.¡± He told Yan as he starting digging through his drawers in the room. Yan found a bed in the corner, but he didn¡¯t believe anyone could sleep here. The smell in this room wanted him to vomit, but he had a strong stomach. Besides the bed, it looked like a normal room except for the people here. There were also small vials that were empty. Grabbing something from his dresser, he smiled. ¡°Here it is!¡± He yelled out as he showed Yan a small vial of purple liquid. ¡°Let me introduce myself, I am Mo. I no longer use any other name, and there isn¡¯t a real reason for me to tell you about it either. I am a person who loves to study to human body, very much so that I need real specimen for my studies. You may not believe me, but I feel that human potential can go long past the stage of staying on land. You may be against the alliance, but don¡¯t fear, i¡¯m not one of them. I feel that you are able to help me, so how about we make an exchange?¡± Yan raised his eyebrow a bit, didn¡¯t this man seem a little off? He was using real life humans for experiments, what kind of person was this? ¡°What can you offer me?¡± Yan asked him. ¡°No, no, no. It should be, what you can offer me.¡± Mo replied. ¡°I¡¯m not the one who wants to make an exchange, you are. So, I¡¯ll ask once again, what can you offer me?¡± Yan asked once more. Mo produced a black piece of paper. ¡°This has a location of all the spots where those disciples take some townsman. You should know what i¡¯m talking about.¡± Yan nodded, of course he knew what this man was talking about. Those disciples truly were shameless, going as far as kidnapping the citizens of the town using them as targets for their martial skills. Even some of the women were used as pleasure material. Yan heard about it from the beggars in town, so he was going to go check it out. One of them gave him a location of a small village where some of the disciples go, but Mo had a whole list. ¡°And, what do you want?¡± Yan asked him. ¡°I simply want the headmaster of the sect. His body is stronger than the rest, I simply must use my next vial on him! Maybe his body will be able to stand it.¡± Yan thought about it, he wanted to kill the headmaster so he could gain a higher bounty and points. Now, Mo wanted him, Yan didn¡¯t know if he should agree or not. ¡°Why do you think i¡¯ll be able to get the headmaster?¡± Yan asked him. Mo laughed, ¡°I¡¯m not stupid. You may be a mortal, but you are special. That woman in that velvet dress, she is at the Sage realm no? Even if you cannot capture him yourself, she would be able to.¡± Yan wanted to groan, why was it that everyone he was coming across was some sort of cultivator. Naturally only a cultivator could tell if the other person was also one. Yan had his suspicious when Mo appeared out of nowhere, but now he was sure of it. ¡°Fine.¡± Yan told him. Mo passed him the black paper, and walked over to one to a naked male with his mouth sewed shut. ¡°Not afraid i¡¯ll just wander off with this information?¡± Yan asked him. ¡°No. You who helped them wouldn¡¯t walk off with information. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll keep your end of the bargain.¡± Mo told him as he started filling a syringe with the purple vial. Yan was about to leave, but Mo stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, these people aren¡¯t good people. I also wouldn¡¯t harm someone normal.¡± Yan opened the door, ¡°I didn¡¯t ask.¡± He told him as he walked out. As he left, Mo attached a needle to the other end of the syringe. The naked man who had his mouth shut started shaking his head wildly. His body was bound by thick ropes, making him unable to move. He couldn¡¯t even scream, the only thing he could do was shake his head. Mo took the needle and stuck it in his arm, letting the purple liquid flow into his body. Tears streamed down his face, but Mo didn¡¯t say a word. Soon the naked mans body violently shook, blood fell from his nose and eyes. Where the needle went into his arm, it started turning black. Red scales covered his forehead, but stopped when it reached the top of his nose. Soon, his body stopped moving as his eyes went white. Mo clicked his tongue. ¡°Damn, another one failed.¡± He said as he tossed the syringe away. Walking to a table, he produced many herbs and started mixing them together. Then he placed them in the empty vials he had, and added some more contents. A blue flame appeared in his palm, as he heated the vials up, making the contents within mix together better and change color. Chapter 21 - Holy Knight? As soon as Yan came outside, he took a good amount of clean air in. He never thought that air could smell so good, but know he finally understood. Mo gave him this creepy feeling, but it wasn¡¯t bad enough to where Yan thought he needed to act against him. He glanced over the black paper, it gave him three different locations as well as how to get to them from the town. Having this was a great help, at least now he didn¡¯t have to find out more information. Yan memorized how to get to the closest location, and put the paper away. Pushing off the ground, his arms turned into purple fiery wings as he flew off. The people in this town couldn¡¯t believe it, some of them even smacked their faces a few times making sure they weren¡¯t dreaming. Someone had the ability to turn their arms into wings and fly. What kind of ability was this? As Yan flew for a while, he came across a small forest. There was a mountain here with a cave in the side of it. Yan landed in front of the entrance to the cave. On the ground, he could see fresh blood that wasn¡¯t hardened yet. He thought that there would be guards at the entrance, but there wasn¡¯t. Who would need guards, when the disciples of the alliance ran this place? If anyone dared to disturb them, that would be asking for a death wish. Yan walked into the cave. He wasn¡¯t like the others who would fear the alliance, in fact, he considered himself above them. The pirate king wouldn¡¯t be held back by an alliance! The inside of the cave was dark so Yan lite his finger up and used it as a torch. The purple flame illuminated the cave enough that he could easily see what was around him. As he went deeper, he found more blood on the ground. It was old, as it was hardened. Eventually Yan found stairs that lead underground. As he walked down the stairs, he could hear screams from below as well as people yelling out different attacks. His speed slightly went up as he continued going down. Yan didn¡¯t know how many people were down below, but he knew that they weren¡¯t his match. If the headmaster was only a Sage realm expert, then his disciples were lower than him. ¡°Stop¡­ please¡­¡± A voice pleaded. It was a weak voice, they were probably close to losing their life. ¡°Shut up! You won¡¯t die, this daddy won¡¯t allow you to die.¡± A male voice was heard from below. Yan eventually reached the end of the stairway, and entered a well lit room. He could make own rusted cages that held many men. In a huge cage in the corner, there were naked women lying down. They were in better shape than the men, who had bruises all over their body. ¡°Who the hell are you?¡± One of the many men dressed in light green robes asked Yan as he noticed him entering the room. Yan ignored the man as he walked over to the middle aged man in the middle of his room. His skin was coming off, and his arms were dislocated. Blood that was old and new covered his naked chest. The man seeing Yan walk over was scared, he didn¡¯t know what Yan was planning on doing to him. Yan¡¯s hazel eyes swept over the man, he felt pity for him. There were twenty men dressed in light green robes in this room. It didn¡¯t take a genius to figure out that they were part of the alliance. ¡°This bastard dares not to answer? Fuck! Is he courting death?¡± A disciple asked. This question made all the other disciples realize that he never answered their brother. They were stunned because of the way Yan walked in here and went straight to the middle aged man who they were using to test their skills on. However now, they regained their composure. ¡°Damn right, who dares to come into our place?¡± ¡°Brothers, check this bastards cultivation. You¡¯ll surely have a good laugh.¡± ¡°A mortal? Hahaha, this damn chick dares to come into a lions den? Fine, let me teach him a lesson!¡± One of the male disciples lunged at Yan. He didn¡¯t use his weapon, but only his fist. Against this mortal, he didn¡¯t need to use any weapon. If he used his weapon, that would only be a disgrace! His fist went straight through Yan¡¯s head, causing a hole to appear in the middle of his head. He hurriedly brought his fist back thinking that he used too much strength. He only wanted to teach Yan a lesson, not kill him. He was an alliance disciple, so he knew what would happen if he killed a mortal. Luckly, his sworn brothers were the only ones who witnessed it, so he calmed down a little. The mortals in this room wouldn¡¯t dare speak a word. They were caged up, in the middle of nowhere, who could they tell? Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t think it would take one hit. Surely you must have overdone yourself.¡± The others started laughing, leaving him to only scratch the back of his head in embarrassment. Over using his strength to get rid of a mere mortal? What type of shame was this? He couldn¡¯t tell them that the mortal was weak, and he only used ten percent of his power in that blow. The hole in Yan¡¯s head was filled with purple flames as the missing parts came back. The disciples who saw this thought they were in front of an immortal. However, they knew that wasn¡¯t the case. Yan turned his head, pointing his middle and index finger at the forehead of the disciple that just hit him. His finger caught on fire with a purple flame, and it shot out. A single hole went through his head, as his body fell backwards with blood splattering all over. The other disciples grabbed their weapons on their side. Forget thinking, they had to kill the man in front of them. He killed one of their sworn brothers! If they used their brains, they would first think how Yan a mortal would be able to even conjure flames in the first place. They didn¡¯t, it seemed that the only thing on their mind was revenge. To the middle aged man, it was like he was standing behind a god. Yan swiftly dealt with those disciples of the alliance, without leaving a single one of them alive. The only thing it took was a single point of his finger, and bam! They were dead. Yan aimed his finger at the lock on the cages, and shot them off. The middle aged man wondered who the wonderful saint was in front of him. He was their savior, maybe the gods hadn¡¯t forsaken them. This was the person he sent to them, the person who would punish those who harmed them! A holy knight! He couldn¡¯t help but ask Yan, ¡°Who are you?¡± Yan tilted his hat, ¡°A pirate.¡± All those who heard his reply couldn¡¯t help but have their jaws drop. A pirate saved them? A pirate killed multiple cultivators? Like hell they would believe that! Clearly this person didn¡¯t want to reveal his identity to them thus he claimed to be a pirate. ¡°Savior, won¡¯t you please save my child? She hasn¡¯t eaten in three days, even a piece of bread will do.¡± A naked woman walked over to Yan and begged him. Yan¡¯s expression went cold, why would he help them? He wouldn¡¯t help them for free, he was a pirate, not robin hood! The woman was a little skinny, he could easily tell that she hasn¡¯t eaten in a while. Maybe if she ate a bit more her color would return, and she would be able to gain the affection of many men. Yan had to admit, he was somewhat of a pervert as he glanced over her body and other women''s. It was fast, so he hoped that they didn¡¯t notice. There wasn¡¯t a day that went by where he wished he had internet connection, or even his phone. You try going three years without any good material to use for your personal purposes. Yan took a quick breath, clearly his head of all his thoughts he had. ¡°I¡¯m not your savior, and I could care less about your kid. You are just people I happened to come across on my travels, that is all.¡± He spoke in a rude tone, crushing their image they had for him. The holy knight who was sent by the gods? Foolish! This person in front of them was the same as those disciples. Utterly despicable! Seeing how their morale went down, Yan smiled lightly as he walked off. They were stunned, how could he just leave them? Did he even have a damn soul? One of the girls clicked her tongue. ¡°He dares look at our bodies, but doesn¡¯t pay up? Wait till I¡­ ugh!¡± Yan might have been fast at glancing at their bodies, but women had the a special trait. They could feel when someone was watching them, naturally they felt Yan¡¯s eyes go across their bodies. They didn¡¯t say anything because they figured he was going to help them out. If they knew this would have happened, they would have cursed him to death. ¡°Let¡¯s go, maybe we can hunt on our way back to town.¡± A bulky man said as he picked up one of the disciples weapons. Others nodded their head and followed his lead picking up the weapons on the floor. A spatial ring was special, not everyone had one. These twenty disciples surely didn¡¯t have one. As the group walked out of the cave, once again their jaws dropped. Piles of meat, and grain was in front of the entrance. It was enough to feed an entire village for a week! They wanted to know who left this here, but only one person came to mind. ¡°Savior! He hasn¡¯t forsaken us!¡± A young boy called out. Chapter 22 - Elements ¡°Sister Jing, where are you going?¡± A man asked the beautiful woman dressed in a light green robe. ¡°Come on, why don¡¯t you follow your sister around. There might be a reward¡­¡± The beautiful woman let the word reward linger. The man hearing what she said, couldn¡¯t help but speed up his pace and follow behind his fellow sister. She just joined the sect yesterday, but not only that she was made a core disciple. The elders in the sect called her a one of a kind genius. They¡¯ve never seen a talent like her before. They were so excited that they had all run off to tell the headmaster of the sect. When the news spread, all the disciples have come to take a look at the so called genius. Everyone could tell at an instant that her cultivation was beyond their own. The female disciples frowned, but held back their jealousy because of her looks. They wouldn¡¯t say anything in front of her, because she was more powerful than them. To the males, this woman was a goddess worth more than a country. Long black hair that flowed down smoothly to her lower back, smooth jade like skin. There could be no other perfect woman in the world! Their desires instantly flared up, they had to capture such a beauty. If they did, they could live out the rest of their lives in peace. Another wife? Crap! Who would need another wife when you could have her? Even if they did take in another wife, there would be no comparison. All the males with good backgrounds and high cultivation puffed their chest out and walked up to her. They had to put on the best show, use their best moves. Shameless? No, in this sect, who would care about face in front of this woman? As long as anyone of them could get her heart, their brothers would forget the way they acted and look upon them like a god. With this thought in mind, they acted on pure desire only. Even the males who were already engaged couldn¡¯t help but go up and talk to her. Their partners couldn¡¯t help but scorn them. They thought that she would be above the rest, making her attitude cold and isolated. She broke all their expectations, and greeted them. ¡°Sister Jing greets her fellow brothers and sisters.¡± One sentence! Her voice was the sweet, and sounded pure. The hearts they had filled with nothing but desire was shattered. How could they taint something so sweet? They had to give up, no, they must give up! Sister Jing was Leah, who just entered the sect. She had never entered a sect before, so she thought that the entrance exam would be hard. Who would have known that when she approached and said she wanted to join, the elders asked her if she was sure. When she told them yes, they instantly let her join and gave her the badge showing that she was a core disciple. Two elders brought her into the sect, but then left her saying they would go inform the headmaster of her arrival. She didn¡¯t expect this at all, it was easier than she thought. However, with her talent, this was only natural. Any sect would love to have her, and for this low end sect, she could probably challenge the headmaster for his position. Leah had a mission to do, so she didn¡¯t want to waste her time. If this was just her doing it for cultivation purposes, then she wouldn¡¯t act nice. She wasn¡¯t a nice person, she was actually pretty cold. Except too many things happened in these last few weeks, making it seem that she was a warm hearted person. From Yan¡¯s vivre cards, to Yan challenging four Sage realm experts, to her grandfather letting her travel. How could her mood not seem good? If those things never happened, then she wouldn¡¯t even appear in front of these people. Even in the auction house, she only came out when there was a VIP guest involved. Even then, most of the things they brought were items she heard about or saw before. Yan was her first exception, what he brought in was something new. It was different from anything else. Leah talked with her fellow disciples for a while. They blasted her with questions asking what clan she was from, to what martial skills she learned. They even asked if she was engaged to anyone. She answered most of their questions, but they were filled with lies. How could she tell them about herself? Even the name she gave them was a fake. She didn¡¯t know who Jing Jia was, nor did she care. If anything, if this Jing Jia person was real, then their fame would increase tenfold. The person sitting at the top of the Continent was also surnamed Jing, but who would ever think these two people could be related? The first day, Leah got settled in and had a tour of the sect. It wasn¡¯t a huge sect, so she didn¡¯t believe it would have the same things her clan had. All sects had a martial skill library, and a cultivation tower. These two places were the keys to having a sect, without them no one would join. Leah wasn¡¯t interested in either of them, she already had martial skills. Even without a cultivation tower, her cultivation speed would only drop slightly. They didn¡¯t have an alchemist who was able to refine pills, nor did they have a transportation gate that would allow one to travel great distances. They didn¡¯t even have a pavilion that sold weapons for their disciples. This place was a total dump! How could a branch of the alliance be like this? Shouldn¡¯t it be a bit more glamorous? Leah could only shake her head. After getting settled into the sect, she found a few young males. She approached them and asked them questions about the sect, their life, and the elders. First she had to get them comfortable around her before she could ask what she really wanted. It has already been a day since then, but she has these three young males eating out her hand. She wasn¡¯t the type to use her looks for other purposes, but her grandfather always told her that the deadliest weapon to a man was a woman''s beauty. As she led these three young males around the sect, they arrived at the cultivation tower. It had a total of three floors. The top floors were for the normal disciples, while the bottom floor was for the core disciples. Leah was assigned a room on the bottom floor on the first day she entered. She still wondered why she was never greeted by the headmaster, but when she asked the elders they told her that he was busy. He said that he would greet her when he was done. She could only sigh. Leah wanted to become his disciple, that way she could learn what martial skills he used, weapon he was comfortable with, and if he had any armor. If she learned this then it would be of great help to Yan. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. As she lead the three young males into her cultivation room, they gulped down hard. The door to the room closed and was locked. Everyone knew that the only way to leave was if the owner opened placed their badge against the seal on the door. Every room was sound proof, and enhanced with an array to increase the amount of Qi gathered. The three young men however had other thoughts. Leah lead them to her private cultivation room, and locked the door. What else could this mean, if not that? They glanced at each other and smiled, this was probably going to be the best moment in their lives. When they saw Leah¡¯s face, their expression instantly turned ugly. That moment they were waiting for, it wasn¡¯t going to happen. Leah¡¯s expression turned cold as she glared at the three males. She had to play the friendly new girl, and she was already sick of it. In front of Yan and the rest, she would show them what she wanted them to see. As someone who grew up learning from her grandfather and had the experience of a business woman, she knew that she could only say or do what would please the other person. In front of them, she wouldn¡¯t show this side of herself. If she did, she didn¡¯t know how they would react. After all, she was a bit sadistic. ¡­¡­. A beautiful woman with long dark brown hair and a red dress was seated cross legged. She sneezed, and the guard at the entrance turned to look at her. ¡°Empress Jing, are you alright?¡± He asked her. She wasn¡¯t sick, so why would she sneeze? She could only reply back, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Turning back around, the guard continued to stand guard. His job was boring, but it paid a lot. He didn¡¯t even know why he had to guard her, there wasn¡¯t a need to. No one was stupid enough to try and fight her. She was the Empress of BlueMoon Continent, but no one knew her full name. They only called her Empress, or Empress Jing. One would expect the person sitting on the throne to be a man, but she broke all expectations! She was like a dark horse, no one even knew who she was. Killing all those that stood in her way, she took the throne right before them. Closing her eyes, she focused on her cultivation again. She needed to breakthrough to the next realm. ¡°Jing¡¯er, how are you?¡± A voice asked her in her head. There was only one way to communicate with someone without sending them a letter. That was by using your Qi to send a link to someone else. The link would transmit your voice to that person, and that person''s voice back to you. The only people who are able to do such a thing would be Immortals. ¡°Hello father.¡± She responded back. ¡­.. ¡°Brother Yan, we¡¯ve found out something that might interest you.¡± Dex came into the room where Yan was at. It was Yan and Dex¡¯s room, while the room next door was for Vixen and Leah. However since Leah isn¡¯t here, Yan has an extra key. Yan was seated cross legged on his bed when Dex came in. Opening his eyes he asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Dex came in and sat on his bed, while Vixen sat down on it as well. ¡°There will be a meeting in two days at the sect. It is with the headmaster and another headmaster from the alliance.¡± ¡°What is it for?¡± Dex scratched his cheek, ¡°Well¡­ he didn¡¯t say. Only that this talk has been going around for a while.¡± Dex pointed towards Vixen, ¡°Maybe her charms weren¡¯t good enough?¡± Saying that, he started laughing. Vixen smacked him on the head. She didn¡¯t do anything with that disciple, after she found out the information Dex killed him. Yan looked out the window, ¡°Maybe Leah will find out more. There might be something big going on here, and we don¡¯t know about it.¡± Yan felt that he should inform them of Mo, but he kept it to himself. Mo didn¡¯t seem like the type who would come after them, so Yan wasn¡¯t worried. What made him a little bit worried was the fact that there was another Headmaster coming here. He was certain that he would be able to handle this sects headmaster, but the one that is coming here, he can¡¯t tell. Not knowing their cultivation realm is something big, even knowing where they come from is something he should know. The reason Yan choose this place for his first target was because the effects would be nice for making his name rise. A whole sect killed in a day, and burned to the ground. The alliance would have to pay attention to this. Not only them, everyone in the cultivation world would have to pay attention. Now, there are two unknown substances that were added. One was Mo who seems to be on his side, but they were bound by words. Mo could easily act against him after he completes his goal. The other was this unknown headmaster who was coming. Yan gritted his teeth, if he had more power, then he wouldn¡¯t need to worry. Did shanks have to worry about anything? Even stopping the war at marineford was nothing to him. Why? Because he had enough power. He had his crew backing him up, they couldn¡¯t go against him. Yan could only close his eyes and continue practicing the cultivation method Leah gave him. He didn¡¯t have any talent in cultivation, but if he had something to help him out, then maybe it could increase. Yan learned from Leah that when one enters the Entry realm, they¡¯ll be able to tell the element they are allied with. The elements include water, fire, wind, earth, ice, lightning, darkness, light, and a few others. A cultivator could only learn martial skills with those elements. If the element in your body harmonizing with you, then your martial skills will have at least four times the damage! Yan learned that there were some people who were able to have two elements in their body, but mostly everyone had one. Those who had two could be considered lucky, but also had the hardest time. There were also those that had no elemental alignment. Meaning they could learn any martial skill, but the output would always be low.
No one shall be normal! (Talking about people who are inside the pirate crew) Chapter 23 - Leahs return Leah arrived at the entrance to the sect, but she was stopped by an elder. ¡°Disciple Jing, where are you going?¡± The elder asked her. ¡°Elder, this disciple wants to take a couple of days for leave.¡± She told him. The elder thought about it for a moment, and smiled. ¡°Sure disciple Jing, but how about I go along with you. We can¡¯t have you wandering around and getting into trouble, if something happens to you, the headmaster will have my head!¡± Leah¡¯s expression changed for a split second, but quickly went back to normal. She didn¡¯t want this elder coming with her, and she couldn¡¯t lead him to Yan. Leah decided she would take him away from the sect and kill him before she went into town. As they walked out of the sect, the elder suddenly remembered something. ¡°Disciple Jing, I think it is best you take your leave in a few days. There is a special guest coming, and all the disciples are not allowed to leave.¡± Leah heard a little about this from those three young males. She didn¡¯t know who the other headmaster was, but the top disciple from this sect and the other sect are getting married. Not only that, but after they are married the two sects will merge into one sect. ¡°This matter cannot wait, I must leave!¡± She said. The elder furrowed his brows, how dare she talk back to him. However he didn¡¯t dare say anything back to her like he would to the other disciples. She was stronger than him, and he would have no way to defend himself. Gritting his teeth, he nodded his head. The headmaster hasn¡¯t seen her yet, so he wouldn¡¯t know that she is missing. Maybe this matter she is speaking of will only take a day''s time, then they can return. ¡­¡­. Yan was seated at the table eating a meal. He didn¡¯t have anything to do at the moment considering he could only wait for Leah to come back with information regarding the other headmaster. Dex and Vixen were both out at the moment gathering more information. He needed to know more about the headmaster that was coming here. Yan sighed as he put his fork down on the table and leaned back. The entrance to the inn opened up and Leah walked in with a smile on her face. Even her cheeks were rosy red, causing her charm to increase tenfold. She walked over to Yan and sat across from him. Wearing her Baby-5 dress instead of the sects robe, it gave off a different feeling. ¡°What did you find out?¡± Yan didn¡¯t waste any time and asked her. ¡°There is a headmaster called Te Lin coming to the sect tomorrow with his disciple Hau Hu. Hau Hu and a core disciple from the sect are getting married, causing both of the sects to merge into one.¡± She paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Yan, I think we should wait until Te Lin leaves before we attack the sect. Unlike the headmaster, Te Lin is already a Master Sage at the middle stage.¡± She found out about Te Lin from the elder who she ¡®played¡¯ with before she came back here. For his life he was willing to give up any information regarding Te Lin. Yan noticed her concern for him, but still shook his head. He wasn¡¯t able to beat a Master Sage, but so what? The only reason he failed was because he didn¡¯t have enough energy to continue fighting. If he had more energy, then even a Master Sage would fall before him! ¡°I cannot! You know what happens when we wait? Time is wasted, time that cannot be recovered. No matter if it was Te Lin or an Immortal, I will fight against them!¡± Yan told her proudly. He wasn¡¯t going to back away now. This was the perfect place to make a name for himself, how could he let this chance go by? Luffy did what others thought was impossible, so why couldn¡¯t he? Yan didn¡¯t have time to think about it. Skip thinking! In the world of One Piece, the only ones qualified to come up with plans are those who are scared. Hearing Yan, Leah could only sigh. ¡°Yan¡­ it has been a little bit since you¡¯ve started cultivating. Did you know it would take at least a month or so for a genius to enter the Entry realm? Taking longer for those who have an average speed. However for you who has no talent, I fear taking a year would not even be enough.¡± Leah was only speaking honestly. Yan didn¡¯t refute her, he also knew his talent sucks when it comes to cultivation. Watching Leah produce a black box, his curiosity was piqued! ¡°Yan, this is an Internal Qi pill, however it is different from other types of Internal Qi pills. It won¡¯t increase your talent, nor is it some type of heaven defying pill. The price for this pill easily reaches ten trillion, but it is worthless to me. It can let a cultivator train what they would in one year, in one day. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you could only use this pill once, then it could be considered heaven defying.¡± Leah told him as she passed the black box to Yan. ¡°On BlueMoon continent, only twenty of these pills appear every five years. My grandfather gave this to me when I was younger, but I never needed it. Now, I am giving it to you. You must be warned, there are slight side effects from taking this pill.¡± Yan raised his eyebrow when she said that. ¡°If you aren¡¯t able to endure the sudden increase in qi, your meridians could burst open making you unable to cultivate forever. However if you do endure it, due to you increasing your training speed by one year, you¡¯ll be unable to absorb anymore qi for the next year.¡± The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ¡°So a double edged sword.¡± Yan said as he gripped the black box. Leah nodded her head. This pill for increasing your training speed had two different types of effects. Trade one whole year of cultivation for increasing your speed by one year, or your meridians would completely burst open. For a cultivator, this was a huge gamble. If you couldn¡¯t cultivate for a year, then you wouldn¡¯t be able to increase your strength. Yan stood up with the black box in hand. ¡°Thanks.¡± He told her as he went upstairs to his room. Leah thought of something, but shook her head. It was too late, she could only leave it up to the heavens. Upstairs Yan sat cross legged with ¡®Buddha''s Resurrection¡¯ in front of him. Leah said it could increase what he could in one year into one day. Yan believed that he would easily be able to break into the Entry realm with this pill, but he also wanted to see if it would help him with learning ¡®Buddha''s Resurrection¡¯. ¡®Buddha¡¯s Resurrection¡¯ is a special type of martial skill. It isn¡¯t the type that¡¯s a strong move, nor is it the type that increases your body. It simply blooms a flower inside of you, and as it grows it will give you immunity to one type of element. Yan read through the first chapter of the book, and waited for a while before he finally closed his eyes. He wanted to completely understand what he just read to make sure that he wouldn¡¯t forget it. There could be no mistakes. As his eyes were closed, he took a deep breath as he opened the black box in front of him. Yan couldn¡¯t see what color the pill was, and he didn¡¯t care. One can¡¯t live correctly if they have regrets, so Yan would live his life to the fullest without regretting anything. Putting the pill in his mouth, it quickly dissolved. As it slid down his throat, he felt his body warming up. Yan didn¡¯t feel any different, but he couldn¡¯t move his body. It was stuck in a meditating state, and no matter what he tried, he was unable to move. He guessed this was something the pill caused, so he stopped trying to move and relaxed. His mind was empty, he couldn¡¯t even sense what was going on in his surroundings. Yan didn¡¯t feel the Qi in the air either, it was like his mind was isolated from the world. If Yan could see what was going on outside, he would be surprised. As seconds went by, you could visibly see Yan¡¯s hair growing longer. After a while, his height increased a little bit. This pill did not only allow him to train what he could do in one year into one day, it also stimulated his body into thinking that a year was passing by. All cultivators have what they call a dantain, that is just right below their belly button. Usually one has Qi gather and it would form a ball inside them. This ball would be different colors, depending on what type of element they were allied with. If they had two, then the ball would be split in half with two different colors. Inside Yan, a ball of Qi wasn¡¯t forming. Where the Qi was suppose to gather to form a ball of light, it didn¡¯t. There was the image of a purple fruit with a red glow. It was strange as it looked like a pineapple. If Yan could see this, he could tell that this was a Devil Fruit. Except this Devil Fruit wasn¡¯t one in the exchange system, it was the one he created. It was absorbing the Qi that entered Yan¡¯s body, making it larger in size and more defined. As it grew larger, a screech was heard by Yan. He thought he was isolated, but it turns out that he wasn¡¯t. Some kind of beast was here, but he couldn¡¯t find it. The Pineapple changed its shape from a Devil Fruit into the face of a Phoenix Head. With Purple colored feathers, light red eyes and a golden beak, it was floating in Yan¡¯s Dantian. Purple energy flowed from it into Yan¡¯s Meridians filling it up. Yan¡¯s blood boiled as it ran through his body at an insanely fast speed. Half a day was already gone by, but to Yan he couldn¡¯t tell the time. In the empty space in his mind a golden figure appeared. Yan didn¡¯t know anything about Chinese history, the only thing he knew was some Xinxia or Wuxia novels. However Yan hardly even read those! This figure, anyone who knew the basics of China could tell what it was. It was Buddha! ¡­¡­ Yan could finally move his body again, but when he did he heard a few crackling sounds. Those things about you having black yuck over your body was a lie. Yan didn¡¯t have anything on his body. He could feel the strands of hair on his naked back. Yan walked into the bathroom, there was a mirror inside the bathroom. He wanted to see if he became any more handsome. There was also the idea that once you cultivated your skin would become smoother and one would become more handsome. ¡°Eh, still the same.¡± Yan told himself as he looked at himself in the mirror. Nothing changed besides his hair growing longer. If he had to say anything was different, it would be the beauty mark under his left eye.
Been busy with Uni/work, but I''ll release more chapters today. Chapter 24 - Gaining a lot from... ¡°Is this the Entry realm? Did I even break through?¡± Yan asked himself as he looked in the mirror. He didn¡¯t feel any different, there wasn¡¯t a surge of strength coursing through his body. Maybe even after a years time of training, it still wasn¡¯t enough to break through. If that was the case, Yan would give up on trying to cultivate. He would just try to combine more Devil Fruit together instead. If he could combine two or maybe even three more, then his strength might reach that of an Immortal. Yan could only think of it, but who knows what type of strength he would have once he reaches that level. Yan went back into the room and grabbed his Wado Ichimonji. Unsheathing it, he grabbed a good chunk of his hair and then cut it off. The black strands fell to the floor as he continued to cut more off. Once his hair was cut off, he closed his eyes. Maybe he could ask the admin if him consuming Devil Fruit caused his cultivation ability to decrease. If that was the case, then he would really give up cultivating. In the system, Yan was about to call the admin out, but he noticed a number in the corner. It was a massive amount, way more than Yan ever had at one time. He opened his eyes for a moment and went back into the bathroom. Washing his face with cold water, he once again closed his eyes. The number was still there, so he wasn¡¯t imagining things. Yan wanted to jump in joy! Six million points! That was the total amount of points that he currently had, last time he checked he only had a little over thirty thousand points. ¡°Admin.¡± Yan said. ¡°You called?¡± A voice rang out. ¡°How did I manage to obtain so many points?¡± Yan asked. He was curious as to how he got them when he did nothing. There weren¡¯t any bounty missions that he had completed, so how did he get them? ¡°From hidden bounty missions.¡± The admin told him. ¡°Hidden bounty mission?¡± Yan was confused. The bounty mission didn¡¯t say anything about hidden missions. Heck, Yan didn¡¯t even know what hidden mission he completed! ¡°Yes, there are multiple bounty missions that you can¡¯t see. However they are still in the system, you can call them Hidden Bounty Missions. Since you can¡¯t see what the requirements are for completing them, their rewards are much higher compared to the normal bounty missions.¡± The admin explained to Yan. Yan could only agree. Even in rpg¡¯s, there were hidden quest that rewarded the player with more gold and exp compared to an average quest. ¡°Can you tell me what hidden bounty missions I completed?¡± Yan asked. ¡°I can¡¯t. If I told you, then you would get a hint as to what other kind of hidden bounty missions there are.¡± The admin paused for a moment, ¡°However, I can tell you that you¡¯ve only completed two of them so far.¡± Yan could only sigh, he thought that he could get a hint or two. The admin was smarter than what he thought. Yan needed four more million points if he wanted Conqueror''s Haki. That would be a game changer when he had that, but for now, it was still a far away goal. With so many points, Yan could buy more Devil Fruits. He gave it a thought, but changed his mind. Even if he brought some for the people in his crew, he still couldn¡¯t trust them. ¡°Browse Devil Fruit.¡± Yan said as a selection of different Devil Fruit appeared. Picking one, Yan opened his eyes. Floating in the air was a dark red apple like Devil Fruit, Yan grinned. Yan thought about grabbing the Magu Magu no Mi Devil Fruit. Stolen novel; please report. Yan didn¡¯t, there was something else he wanted. One because now that he knows about the hidden bounty missions, he would like to test something. Second, because he wanted to know for himself what would happen if he combined three different Devil Fruits. How much would his strength increase? Would his phoenix change? Could he even combine this Devil Fruit? Yan had many thoughts running in his mind at the moment, but he shoved them all into the back of his head. The system didn¡¯t only have cannon type Devil Fruit, it also had the non-canon ones. This dark red apple Devil Fruit was also known as Atsu Atsu no Mi, it was owned by Don Accino. Having the ability to control heat, but even in lava Yan would be completely fine. Sure, if he had the Magu Magu no Mi Devil Fruit, he could control lava, but how could that help his flames? Having the ability to control the flames temperature is something he could use. Don Accino also had a variety to techniques that Yan could use to combo with his Devil Fruit. Although this was a good Devil Fruit to have, it wasn¡¯t the main reason why Yan picked it. So far, Yan has the Mera Mera no Mi which is a Logia type. Pera Ni Lu Jo which is a mythical Zoan type. Now he has Atsu Atsu no Mi which is a Paramecia type. With all three types of Devil Fruit inside his body, Yan wanted to know what type of effect this would have. This was something that has never happened before, nor has it been seen. Yan couldn¡¯t wait any longer as he started taking bites out of the dark red apple. It still tasted terrible. No one could get use to this taste, not even if you ate hundreds of them. ¡°Two Devil Fruits with similar attributes have been found. Would you like to fuse them together?¡± A voice asked him. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Fusion Complete, name your Devil Fruit.¡± ¡°Dai Dai no Mi.¡± Yan felt this weird sensation in his body. It felt like his was about to explode. It started getting hard to breath, his face was flushed red, and steam was rising from him. Yan dropped to the floor, as he gritted his teeth in pain. The Qi in the air vanished, Yan could no longer feel it. His muscles tightened, Yan could even hear them ripping. Inside Yan¡¯s dantain, the once purple phoenix, was not red violet. It was golden with a hint of purple. Those red eyes, glowed brightly as golden energy rushed through Yan¡¯s body. His meridians were double in thickness, and his bones turned pure white. Yan didn¡¯t know how long he was in pain for, but after it calmed down he knew something changed. His breathing calmed down as Yan got up from the ground. He could feel the blood rushing through his body, it was as if he could control it. Yan brought his hand in front of him and opened his hand. A golden flame appeared, but he could still see a hint of purple in the middle. Yan could control the size making it as small as a bead, or as large as a boulder. Yan was itching to test out his new Devil Fruit powers, but he had something else in mind. Combining these three different types of Devil Fruit, would he gain some points from completing a hidden bounty mission? Closing his eyes, he couldn¡¯t wait to find out. The Devil fruit cost him 500000 points, so it left him with five and a half million. Glancing at the number in the corner, Yan earned five million more points. Announcement + Update! So... yeah, haven''t posted chapters lately, but I haven''t quit. Just been very busy with work, school, and military stuff. Now that my military training is over with, and everything has calmed down mostly, I can start posting chapters again. First chapters should be up later day, and continue on like normal? Might be less than 4+ a day, might only be 2 a day or something, depends on how my schedule goes. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Sorry for the wait D: Chapter 25 - Worlds Biggest Eater Ten and a half million points was the total that Yan currently had. With this, he could buy his Conqueror''s Haki for ten million points, but that would only leave him with half a million left to buy another Devil Fruit if he needed. As much as he would like to buy Conquerors Haki, there was still more things he needed first. Even if he did obtain it, Yan knew that his body was currently too weak to take any major blows head on verusus a high ranking Cultivator. If he wanted to even think of competing against them, first he needed to have a strong body. The only way for him to have that was to upgrade his Armament Haki to its max. Also if he upgraded his Observation Haki to the max as well, Yan would be the strongest in both body and eyesight. It wouldn¡¯t matter if something came at him faster than the speed of light, he would still be able to sense it and counter it. This choice would be big, and Yan didn¡¯t want to waste his points. He wouldn¡¯t come around this amount of points everyday, so he had to be careful of what he chose. With Conqueror''s Haki, he could easily knock out cultivators who are weaker than him, but on the other hand he didn¡¯t know exactly how strong the effect would be. This wasn¡¯t the One Piece world, so Yan believed that the Conquerors Haki would have a different effect here than it did there. Also, controlling Conquerors Haki is also hard, because at the beginning Yan wouldn¡¯t be able to differentiate between friend and foe. He would harm his own crew as well, so he needed time to train. Thinking about this, caused Yan¡¯s decision to solidify. He didn¡¯t have the time to train his Conquerors Haki at the moment, he already had control over his Observation Haki and Armament Haki. ¡®Goodbye my lovely points!¡¯ Yan cried to himself as he upgraded his Armament Haki to the max, costing him two million and a half points. Once that was done, he upgraded his Observation Haki to the max, which costed him two million points. Almost five million points gone, in a flash! However Yan still wasn¡¯t done, he brought the Gura Gura no Mi Devil Fruit, and World¡¯s Biggest Eater ability. Yan read through World¡¯s Biggest Eater before, it was an ability that allowed something to eat something that it normally wouldn¡¯t eat. The reason why it was named World¡¯s Biggest Eater was simply because anything that was in the world, it would be able to eat. This ability wasn¡¯t applied for himself, it was only useable by equipment or objects. Naturally Yan chose his Wado Ichimonji to apply this ability to. The best thing was, this didn¡¯t use any of his ability slots, because he wasn¡¯t the one using the ability! This ability itself costed one million points, on top of the Gura Gura no Mi Devil Fruit, totaled one and a half million points! Yan unsheathed his sword and stabbed it into the transparent Dragon fruit. The transparent Dragon fruit slowly grew smaller and smaller, until it was completely gone. In the One Piece world, it was only shown that Zoan type Devil Fruit could be eaten by inanimate objects, however with the World¡¯s Biggest Eater ability, it wouldn¡¯t matter what it was. As long as it was in this world, his sword would be allowed to eat it! A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Yan couldn¡¯t think of anything else at the moment for himself. He still had a good amount of points left which he could use to buy a couple more Devil Fruits for himself, but he didn¡¯t want to, at least not yet. He already knew that he wasn¡¯t getting the Magu Magu no Mi Devil Fruit. Yan knew that he should upgrade his flame abilities more, however he wanted to try something else. Admiral Fujitora (Issho) had the Devil Fruit that allowed him to manipulate Gravity. If Yan had that, he would be happy. Even if he couldn¡¯t get that, if he got Law¡¯s (Trafalgar D. Law) Devil Fruit Ope Ope no Mi which would allow him to have complete control over a space. Yan could also try different tactics, which would change the way he fought. There were so many options for him to pick, but Yan could only have two types of Devil Fruit in his body. He already has his flame type Devil Fruit, and if he eats something else besides fire type Devil Fruit, then he would be stuck with it. Having the ability to eat two Devil Fruit really gave him an advantage, but it also made him limited in his overall power. Just like his fire type Devil Fruit, if he wanted to power up another type, he would have to eat many types just like it. However he was only allowed to eat two, so he already knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to power up his second one. This is why Yan is holding off on buying any more Devil Fruits. He needs to figure out a way that he can upgrade his second Devil Fruit. Yan shook his head as he grabbed his Wado Ichimonji, and sheathed it. The blade of the Wado Ichimonji changed slightly, instead of it being slightly dark, it was actually crystal clear. Yan couldn¡¯t hold back anymore, his excitement was bursting within him. He felt that his power was at its peak, and nothing could stop him! Yan calmed himself down, was he made his way towards the door. Opening it, he went downstairs and noticed Dex and the gang seated at the table. Noticing Yan come down, they glanced at him. Something changed, but they couldn¡¯t put their finger on it. Leah squinted her eyes, but sighed. Yan didn¡¯t break through, even a year''s worth of training didn¡¯t allow him to break into the Entry Realm. She at least hoped he would have a little talent, but it seems like she was wrong. Leah wasn¡¯t the only one thinking this, the other two were thinking the same thing. They learned from Leah that Yan was trying to break into the Entry Realm today, but it seems like he failed. No matter! He was still a strong mortal. As Yan¡¯s eyes landed on them, he could see this light blue energy floating around them. Leah had the most, while Vixen had the least. He didn¡¯t know it yet, but Yan could see how much Qi they currently had. If he could come up with his own system, then he would be able to tell how much Qi equated to which realm they were in. If he figured this out, then he would be able to tell another person''s realm with ease.
Quick Chapter, for the day. Have to get back in that zone~ Chapter 26 - Arrival of the Dawn Pt.1 ¡°Whats going on here?¡± Yan asked the group. ¡°We were waiting on you to finish, how did it go?¡± Dex asked him. Although he could sense that Yan was still a mortal, he still wanted to see if Yan was any closer to breaking through. Yan shrugged his shoulders, ¡°Alright, I guess.¡± Seeing as how Yan wasn¡¯t interested in talking about his cultivation, Dex gave up. Even if he couldn¡¯t cultivate, Dex was sure that Yan had his own ways of dealing with things. Yan left them alone and went to Mo¡¯s room, hopefully he could provide Yan with some information he wants. If he could, then that would be a plus, however if he couldn¡¯t then Yan would still be alright. Although Mo was strange, the information that he provided Yan with last time was legit. As Yan walked away, the group wanted to know where he was going. None of them followed Yan though, everyone has a thing or two they don¡¯t want to share. Opening the door to Mo¡¯s room, Yan entered and once again that foul stench arrived at his nose. ¡°Fuck, doesn¡¯t he ever clean this place?¡± ¡°No, he doesn¡¯t. He actually finds the smell quiet pleasing, if he says so himself.¡± A voice answered. Yan didn¡¯t have to look to tell who that voice belonged to, the only person who could possibly answer him was Mo. Turning his head, he found Mo with a scalpel in his hand and a mask over his mouth. Mo had this strange feeling to him, when Yan first came down, he noticed a light blue energy floating around the gang. However, Mo didn¡¯t have that, the energy that floated around him was thick, and purely black. Yan had a thought, but quickly ignored it. Blood was all over his clothes, but Yan only shook his head. He didn¡¯t even want to know what was going on here. From the moment he walked in, he could already tell that the number of people Mo had here before decreased. Didn¡¯t take a scientist to figure out that they died. Mo placed his scalpel in a box on his waist and lowered the mask from his mouth. ¡°Didn¡¯t expect you to come back here so soon. Guess you¡¯ve ran into a problem? Or two?¡± He said with a creepy grin on his face. If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. ¡°Maybe, do you know anything about a meeting today and the headmaster involved?¡± It didn¡¯t take Mo a long time to think about it. ¡°Ah, yes, there is suppose to be a meeting today, but what does this have to do with you?¡± ¡°Just spill it, I don¡¯t have time to run in circles asking questions and dodging answers.¡± Yan told him in a cold voice. ¡°I don¡¯t see why you would care, if you don¡¯t think you can handle it, then wait until the meeting is over. That guy should leave in three days, at that time you can do what you have to do.¡± Yan stayed silent, and his eyes lowered giving off a demon like aurora. ¡°I don¡¯t see why you are in a rush, but if you want information, you have to do something for me.¡± Mo grinned as he grabbed a vial of white liquid that was in the box on his waist. Waving it in front of Yan he wanted to know what his answer would be. ¡°Speak, what do you want?¡± ¡°Simple, you take this vial and feed it to Te Lin. Afterwards, tell me what happens.¡± Yan grabbed the vial, and nodded. ¡°Good, good. You really are someone I can count on. Now, Te Lin is a man who cultivates the ¡®Azure Yang Dragon¡¯ cultivation method, so even though his outer strength appears to be that of a Master Sage, his actually strength is a whole realm above that. Te Lin has a pet called the ¡®Demon Falcon¡¯ that is black in color, and has the strength of a peak Master Sage realm cultivator. Usually no one sees this beast, because it stays hidden away from Te Lin and protects him from the shadows. As for his family¡­¡± Mo continued talking about Te Lin until a whole hour passed. Yan already had enough information when Mo told him about his real strength and his Demon Falcon, he could care less about Te Lin¡¯s kids. Finally Yan left Mo¡¯s room, it was time for the world to know who the Red Dawn pirates were.
Shorter chapter, but split into parts. Next chapter should be longer, and ties up the rest. Chapter 26 - Arrival of the Dawn pt. 2 Four humans dressed in strange clothing walked out of the inn, the look on their faces were filled with determination. Neither looking angry, nor joyful, the expression on their faces were only filled with that, determination. What were the determined to do? That would be explained in a bit, considering the aurora they gave off. Although the streets in this town wasn¡¯t filled with people walking around, the few that were felt as if they were suffocating when these four came out of the Inn. Who were these four? Why did they give off such a demeaning aurora? Why were they in such a small town? These questions and many more continued rummaging through the minds of the people who saw the four. ¡°I¡¯ll go ahead.¡± The man who was bare chested, told the other three. Naturally this man was none other than Yan. As for the others, did he even need to explain? It was his crew members, who would be with him on his journey to being the pirate king. When Yan told them that, they only nodded their head. What did they have to worry about? Sure, they had a little doubt because Yan was in a rush to make an appearance, but if he was confident that he could be Te Lin, they were confident that they would win. The muscles in his body were stronger than before as Yan¡¯s calf muscles tightened as he pushed off the ground, shooting into the air. The ground beneath his feet had a small pit with cracks emerging. If this was still the world that Yan originally was from, if someone else witnessed this they would think he was superhuman. His speed was crazy fast, any normal person wouldn¡¯t be able to keep track of him with their eyes alone. Yan in the air turned his arms into golden fire with a hint of purple. He did feel strange, as it felt like his transformation was different from before. The details from the flames seemed to match feathers of the phoenix. From afar if one didn¡¯t know this was a human, just based on the wings of flames and their detail, they wouldn¡¯t hesitate to think this was a phoenix. Even Yan was surprised at this transformation, it seemed that something else changed inside him. Yan couldn¡¯t help himself from grinning as he flapped his wings and blasted off faster than one could say the word ¡®Amazing¡¯. It didn¡¯t take long before he was out of sight from the vision of his crew. Leah had her own ring that held items inside it, she produced two flying swords. Since they couldn¡¯t really fly yet, they had to rely on this to get them by. ¡­. ¡°Headmaster Lin, this disciple greets you.¡± A young woman dressed in a tight fitting light blue robe that showed off her curves said while bowing her head. Headmaster Lin didn¡¯t look old, in fact if one saw him they would think he was just a middle aged man. It was something else to think that the person in front of her was a Master Sage who held power beyond anything she ever saw. Headmaster Lin lightly laughed as he said, ¡°Hou Li, just call me Uncle Lin.¡± The young woman nodded as she said, ¡°Uncle Lin.¡± Hearing her words, Headmaster Lin couldn¡¯t help but praise her. From her temperament to the way she carried herself, not even mentioning appearance, she was worthy of his disciple. If his disciple wasn¡¯t worthy, then who in this entire world would be? Thinking about it, Headmaster Lin¡¯s face changed for only a moment as he thought about the other monsters that were allied with the alliance. Maybe if it was one of those people, Hou Li couldn¡¯t even be considered beautiful enough to be their maid. ¡°Hau Hu, come and accompany Hou Li around.¡± Headmaster Li said to his disciple who was behind him. A man with european features nodded his head, although he has met Hou Li a few times he still couldn¡¯t get enough of her beauty. At the moment, these three were in a large room filled with scented candles and a variety of different books. It was actually the main room the headmaster stayed in, and the perfect place to announce the engagement of these two. Headmaster Lin left the room with a huge smile on his face. When he stepped outside, there was a ton of disciples below gazing up at the room. They knew what today was, and they were required to be here today. Although they were required to be present today, most of the disciples were only in certain parts of the sect. Thus they didn¡¯t know actually how huge the sect really was. When they came and noticed the crowd of people, they were proud to be apart of this sect. Fame? Fortune? Cultivation? Although it was hard to gain these things in the cultivation world, they could easily show off in the world of mortals. For those that didn¡¯t join the alliance, they would walk proudly past them! How dare they even walk down the same road as them?You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Headmaster Lin walked next to the other Headmaster who was already outside the room. He was waiting on Headmaster Lin to finish with whatever he was doing before they finally settled everything. ¡°Headmaster Li, why the long face? This should be a joyous moment for all of us, especially you!¡± Headmaster Lin told Headmaster Li. Headmaster Li shook his head slightly, ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I just have a bad feeling.¡± ¡°What could possibly be giving my brother a bad feeling? You just broke through and became a Master Sage, did you properly stabilize your cultivation?¡± ¡°How dare you ask me that? I¡¯ve been doing this for years and you ask me a foolish question such as that? Pft, i¡¯m not some child who doesn¡¯t understand the effects of not stabilizing their cultivation.¡± Headmaster Li replied in a bitter tone. ¡°Just saying. With old age people tend to forget things.¡± ¡°Fuck, you dare call me old? Fine, this matter can be settled later, first we must announce the engagement.¡± Headmaster Li took his attention off of Headmaster Lin and looked down at the disciples. ¡°Thank you all for being here today on such a wonderful occasion. As many of you know or have heard, your elder sister Hou Li is getting engaged to your new elder brother Hau Hu. First I would like to say a few word-¡± ¡°Please do, as those words will be your last.¡± A cold voice called out. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but turn their attention to the owner of that voice, however when they looked up they only saw a blaze of golden light. It was very attracting, and made many hearts skip a few beats. Headmaster Lin and Li had other thoughts though, someone dared to interrupt them? Someone trespassed into their sect on such a day? Who fucking dares? ¡°No last words?¡± The voice asked as the blazing bright light sped down at the crowd of disciples. As the blaze got closer, the disciples could feel the immense heat, it caused them to sweat bullets. The blaze was bright enough that they had to close one of their eyes just to see what was going on. Before they even found out what was happening, a thundering crash could be heard as wind dispersed the disciples. Dust blew past, as a fiery crater was made. There was only one body in the crater, and it surely did not belong to the other disciples. How could they possibly know such a thing? Simple, this person was naked. As Yan shot a death gaze at the two headmasters, his hand grabbed on to the Wado Ichimonji that was at his side. This wasn¡¯t the one Zoro used anymore, it had be tempered by Whitebeards Devil Fruit, so the destruction of his blade couldn¡¯t even be imagined. Watching Yan holding onto the handle of his sword, the disciples and the headmasters finally realized what happened. Everything was settled into their bodies, and they felt burning rage! ¡°Kill that bastard!¡± ¡°You fucking dare?¡± Fueled by their rage, the surrounding disciples couldn¡¯t help but rush towards Yan who was standing still. However unlike the disciples, the two headmasters had other thoughts going on. A normal cultivator would indeed be fueled by rage and attack the person who killed their loved ones, brothers and sisters, or any kin. However these two headmasters had been through their fair share of battles, and knew that, that wasn¡¯t the way to go at first. What caught their eye was the fact that Yan was not a cultivator, but he was able to kill hundreds in one swoop. This would be impossible under normal circumstances, and even if someone was capable of doing such a feat, they would likely only pull it off once. Still, to the eyes of any experienced cultivator, a mortal who could kill hundreds of cultivators in one blow was something that needed explaining. How did he do such a thing? Was it possible for them to use the method he used to increase his strength as their own to upgrade their cultivation? In the minds of these two headmasters, Yan¡¯s appearance held many mysteries with it. This wasn¡¯t a simple matter of someone killing disciples. Yan didn¡¯t know what those two were thinking, he would be stupid to think that they let their guard down. His appearance probably caused their senses to shoot up to the limit, so he had to be careful of his next move. Yan¡¯s eyes moved like the wind, quickly examining the incoming mob of disciples that were rushing at him. Some of them were on the level of Leah, however many of them were way below that. The things he heard, what he saw, it all came back to him when he faced these disciples. To them, maybe it seemed like he was killing without a cause, which was good on his behalf for raising his name. However to him, this killing meant something else. With his grip tightening around the sword, he steadied his stance and pulled the sword out. It was surprising hard to pull out, the sword didn¡¯t want to budge one inch. However as he pulled it, it slowly came out, but along with that came a force that tried to keep the sword in its sheath. The muscles on his arm exploded as he used everything he had to unsheath the sword. No wonder he was called the strongest man, Yan thought to himself. As the sword came out inch by inch, transparent cracks appeared in the air. It didn¡¯t seem like others would be able to see it, but Yan could. Just seeing this only made him grin harder. It made him excited to see what exactly would happen next. Grunting, The Wado Ichimonji made its way out of the sheath. The cracks in the air exploded into pieces like broken glass. The rushing disciples felt strange as if everything around them was distorting. The ground beneath them suddenly looked like it was cut into stairs, and the buildings looked as if they were blocks. Before they had the time to take it all in, everyone of them coughed up massive amounts of blood and their eyes went white. To them, when Yan was unsheathing his sword it was only a split moment, however to Yan, it felt like a few minutes. Witnessing the damage of Whitebeards devil fruit powers with ones own eyes was entirely different from watching the anime. ¡°Amazing!¡± Yan cried out. This was just him unsheathing the sword, if he actually used it to perfection, who knew what type of damage he would be able to cause. He might even be able to destroy the world! Headmaster Lin and Li had a drop of blood emerge from the edge of their mouths. They were further away from the attack, but they still felt it! It was as if their insides were getting torn apart, and parts of their body was cut off. ¡°What type of magic is this?¡± Headmaster Li asked as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Chapter 27 - End of Dawn Yan felt alive, he felt as if he was finally living the one piece lifestyle. He felt strong, he knew why they called Whitebeard the strongest pirate, it was because he had this power. Yan wondered if the old man knew it himself. There was a small regret in his stomach that he didn¡¯t swallow the fruit itself, but he wouldn¡¯t dwell on it too long. There was no time for regrets, there was only time to push forward at full speed. The two headmasters were still shocked and they haven¡¯t recovered yet. This was his chance, his chance to end it all. Yan would not draw out this fight, he would show them what it meant to have the strength of the pirate king. The strength that people dreamt of, the strength that no one would be able to stop. Like a chariot, he blasted off in their directions. There was no stop button, no restarts, he knew that when he came here. He doesn¡¯t have another life, he only has this one. If he wanted to be a true pirate king he had to risk it all with his life on the line. Only then, and only then would he become a king. The two headmasters flew towards Yan as well. Although Yan was fast, they were fast as well. They knew it, the only way to get rid of this threat was for them to work together and attack at the exact same time. If they didn¡¯t do that they knew that it would not end well for either of them. As he went forward golden flames left a trail behind his every step, and with it a path of ash. With his grip over his sword tightened and the distance between both headmasters shortened, he swung it. With a mixture of everything he has learned over the years, with the feeling of being truly strong, he put everything into this one attack. With armament haki covering the blade it had the sharpness to split mountains like tofu. With golden flames that swirled around it, it could make even the ugliest thing in the world look like an angel. Using Kokuto Issen from his movelist, along with the power of the Gura Gura no Mi devil fruit. This attack, this single attack had the strength to spilt the heavens apart. The two headmasters didn¡¯t see this coming, they figured that Yan had something up his sleeve. They had a feeling that what he showed could not be his true power, but they never expected it to be this great. Behind Yan, they could make out a blurry image. Maybe it was due to their fear, or maybe they were not imagining it. However what they saw was a golden statue that could not be reproduced no matter how many times one tried. They both knew exactly what that figure meant, what it symbolized. If one had this figure behind them, then they knew they were doomed to die today. Simply because that figure, that blurry image was Buddha. Yet, they would not give up their only life they had because some youngster had Buddha behind him. They were older, they were part of the alliance, they were stronger! They would not die today.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Headmaster Lin¡¯s arms had a terrifying black aura around them as ravens emerged. Headmaster Li¡¯s whole body sparked as white lightning emerged all around him. In front of this youngster they would not hold back. As for Te Lin, he didn¡¯t want to use this technique due to it meaning he would lose more than forty percent of his cultivation strength for five whole years. Yet, he had to use it because if he didn¡¯t he would die. He already sent a message to his friend not the interfere in this battle. He told him that if he couldn¡¯t make it out alive, then the alliance must know about the threat they currently face. His Demon Falcon would not suffer another fate that it has faced before, it would not die once more. It has already lived a life full of hardship, it was time for them to go their separate ways. As his ravens covered his entire body, he felt a new strength emerge from himself. A boost of fifty percent in strength. To others he seemed like a grim reaper ready to take its next victim, but only he knew that this moment would only last one minute. Yan¡¯s sword attack distorted the world as his flames turned everything in front of him into a blazing inferno. His eyes didn¡¯t miss a beat as the transparent cracks in the air broke apart both the headmasters techniques. Their entire body was being torn from the inside out and there was nothing they could do to stop it. This attack was enough to stop two headmasters from using their techniques to their full potential. It was enough that their moves did not collide. It was a one sided slaughter, and Yan was the predator. Headmaster Li spat out blood as the white lightning surrounding his body vanished as if it was never there. A moment later, his body was burning with golden flames that engulfed him. He couldn¡¯t even scream in agony. It was better for Headmaster Lin as he fell to his knees and the black aura that covered him despite. Blood was covering his body coming out of all his pores, yet he was still alive. Yan was breathing heavily, this attack really put everything to use and yet he felt it was still not enough. One was alive out of two, this was not good enough. He barely had the strength to use another attack like that, but he could do something else instead. As Yan was about to finish off Headmaster Lin, a black falcon swooped down and grabbed him. Its speed was truly fascinating, and as Yan was about to follow it he felt his limbs crack as he coughed up blood. An aftereffect, he didn¡¯t think he would have one. He was still too weak to even try to use this type of strength multiple times. He wasn¡¯t satisfied, he was actually disappointed. A prey got away from the predator, this was not something to be proud of. ¡°Yan!¡± A voice called towards him, but he couldn¡¯t even force himself to turn around. He didn¡¯t realize a sword could be so heavy, it felt as if he was holding a mountain. At the moment he was about to drop his sword, someone caught him. Gazing up he realized it was Leah, he was too broken to even say anything. He only hoped she would understand what his eyes were saying before they shut. Chapter 28 - This is evolution As she held him in her arms she gritted her teeth. He was only human but he tried to go against something greater than this own strength. He could not cultivate, this was proven time and time again. She felt bitter inside, she shouldn¡¯t have let him come here alone. Because although his power was great she knew that it had to come at a cost. With him being this weak, she now figured that this was the cost. Her eyes locked on Dex and Vixen who came shortly after. It seemed they wanted to say something but didn¡¯t. Leah spoke up since they didn¡¯t, ¡°Find all the cultivation books and any items that are of use to us. We¡¯ll store them on the ship for later.¡± Dex had that look in his eyes asking if they should really rob this place. However the answer he got could be seen from Leah¡¯s eyes. There was nothing else that needed to be said. ¡°And Yan? How long before he recovers¡± Dex asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know, his muscles are torn and it seemed he tried to use something he didn¡¯t have. In this case, it would be Qi.¡± Leah answered him. ¡°Well at least the sect won¡¯t live to see another day right? One alliance sect down only like a thousand more left to destroy.¡± Vixen said. ¡°Getting rid of sects from the alliance is only part of his plan, Yan has something else in mind.¡± ¡°What else could be bigger than getting rid of the alliance?¡± Leah stopped to think for a moment but she could not answer. ¡°Ask Yan when he awakens. ¡­¡­¡­. When he finally opened his eyes he could still feel the pain that lingered over his body. It wasn¡¯t as great as when he first felt it, but it was still enough that it stung. Yan glanced over towards the door and it swung open. Dex along with Vixen both walked into the room. ¡°He¡¯s awake.¡± ¡°That he is.¡± ¡°How many days was I out?¡± Yan couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Today marks the third.¡± Dex replied. ¡°Any urgent news?¡± Yan asked. ¡°No, there hasn¡¯t been a word of Te Lin or the alliance trying to retaliate. My guess is that he died before he got to tell them of what happened.¡±The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°There was still his Demon Falcon, even if it couldn¡¯t talk, they would still be able to understand something was wrong. Given the amount of time that has past I suspect either the alliance doesn¡¯t care that one of their own sects was destroyed. Or Te Lin nor his Demon Falcon made it to the alliance.¡± Yan spoke. Vixen felt curious, ¡°Who could no, who would take out Te Lin and his Demon Falcon? There aren¡¯t many who would stand up against the alliance. There also aren¡¯t a lot of cultivators around this part who has the strength to take on Te Lin.¡± Yan had a sudden thought. He just needed to act on it as he urged his body to get out of bed. There might not have been someone with a grudge against the alliance, but there was someone very close by who wanted a Master Sage¡¯s body. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be back.¡± Yan answered swiftly as he left the room. Downstairs Yan hurried over towards the back room and used the secret entrance to make his way to where Mo was located. Mo always gave him a strange feeling and now he knew why. Mo was using him, he was using him all along. From the first day they met Mo has been planning something big, but Yan didn¡¯t know what. How else would he know those locations of where the disciples were located? He must have known Yan would need them when he saw the state of the town. He knew Yan couldn¡¯t beat Te Lin, at least he couldn¡¯t kill him completely. Why would Mo know about Te Lin? He knew all of his strengths and weaknesses, his family situation, Mo knew it all. For what though, what gain did he have? There was a limit as to going so far into finding out about a person who was coming close by your town. Yet Mo went further and found out every detail about Te Lin. Yan burst opened the door the Mo¡¯s room. All the bodies were gone, there was a single body there and Yan could easily tell who it was. It was the man who escaped his death, Te Lin! ¡°Mo, where are you?¡± Yan yelled out. ¡°Quiet down will you.¡± A voice called back as Mo came from another room. Yan never saw that room before, he thought that this one room was just it. It seemed like Mo was hiding more from him. No worries, the truth would all come out sooner or later. Pointing at Te Lin he asked, ¡°What is this?¡± Mo spoke with a devilish grin, ¡°Do you even need to ask? You already know what is going to happen don¡¯t you? How about I ask you something now, where did you get your powers? A human with abnormal abilities, you don¡¯t see this everyday.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t about me, this is about you using me. For what?¡± Mo reached into his pocket and took out a vial with dark orange liquid inside it. ¡°I didn¡¯t ¡®use¡¯ you. You got what you wanted, and I got what I wanted? Just because you went along with what I said does not mean I ¡®used¡¯ you now does it?¡± He opened the vial and poured it in Te Lin¡¯s mouth. ¡°Besides, you should be grateful towards me. Think about what would have happened if he escaped and told the rest of the alliance. I honestly don¡¯t think you are ready for that, since you know¡­ you broke after one fight. It seems to me your powers are too great for you to handle, you can¡¯t bear the burden. How about¡­ you hand them over to me?¡± Te Lin¡¯s body started spasming as he opened his eyes which were bloodshot red. He started screaming in pain as tearing sounds could be heard. Yan watched him suffer as two large white wings protruded from his back. ¡°Ah, finally!¡± Mo exclaimed. Yan¡¯s eyes twitched, he needed an answer. Was Mo friend¡­ or foe? At this point he was too weak to fight back. Mo saw the look in Yan¡¯s eyes and slightly grinned. ¡°This my friend, this¡­ is evolution! Do not worry however, you aren¡¯t on my list. Although you would make a good specimen, I can¡¯t take that risk. At least not now when I don¡¯t fully understand the evolution theory. One day though¡­ one day Yan, we will both test it out¡­ together!¡± Chapter 29 -The First Immortal Chapter 29 Yan¡¯s eyes were cold and he felt disgusted. Not by the fact that Mo was using cultivators as his guinea pigs, but disgusted at the fact that he was being used. But for some reason, he couldn¡¯t stop smiling on the inside. ¡°I¡¯m not going to test anything, not now or ever. I could care less what you would do with those people, but you will not touch me or my crew, do you understand?¡± Yan spoke with an authoritative tone that one could not help but admire. ¡°I understand, but that doesn¡¯t mean anythi-¡± Mo was speaking but he couldn¡¯t finish his sentence because the Te Lin who grew wings out of his back started shaking fiercely. His eyes turned black there was not even a hint of light. Yan glared at Mo, ¡°What is this? Wasn¡¯t this the evolution you were overjoyed about?¡± Mo shook his head, ¡°No. It seems I would need an even stronger subject. Te Lin passed the first stage, but it seems he has failed the second.¡± ¡°What stages are you talking about?¡± Mo laughed lightly, ¡°Now that is for me to know isn¡¯t it?¡± Yan couldn¡¯t be bothered by Mo anymore, he has finished what he set out to do. He came here to destroy a sect and make a name for himself, he has done that. It was time for him to leave this place. As Mo watched Yan approach the door, he spoke once more, ¡°You can¡¯t be leaving already can you? Yan, there is still much more to do.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have to do anything, our goals just aligned with each other which is why we cooperated. However we no longer have any goals aimed towards the same thing, thus it is time to say goodbye.¡± Mo grinned at Yan which frankly creeped him out a little. Mo seemed so confident that Yan would work with him again. ¡°You may not seem interested on the outside, but I know you are curious on the inside. What if I told you about the first immortal to ascend to the heavens?¡± Mo suggested. ¡°No thanks, I could care less about the first immortal.¡± Yan quickly replied.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. Seeing how Yan could care less for the first immortal, Mo lost his trump card. What other reason was there for Yan to stay? Nothing. A quick thought passed through Mo¡¯s head, but he dismissed it. Yan left Mo¡¯s secret room and went back to the upper floors. His crew was seated at the table, but they weren¡¯t eating. Leah had a map open showing off different locations, while Dex and Vixen were absorbed into her pace. ¡®It seems she is already up to something.¡¯ Yan said to himself. He wondered what sort of plan Leah had come up with. Now that they were done with this place, it was best to move on. Yet, he couldn¡¯t shake this feeling of weakness. He knew he was stronger than before, but he felt weak at the same time. As if there was some sort of flaw. He wanted to think it over, but now was not the time. He could do that while they traveled. Walking over towards the table they were at, Vixen slid over and made room for him. ¡°Brother Yan, we were just thinking about our next destination. Sister Leah was telling us of potential places.¡± Dex told Yan. Yan glanced at Leah with a questioning look. ¡°I didn¡¯t pick a place for us to go, but I saw potential locations for us. I¡¯d imagine you would want to pick the destination for yourself, so these are the ones that I came up with.¡± Leah said to him as she pointed at five different locations. Yan seemed uninterested in these locations. ¡°Have you heard the story of the young man who traveled the world and fought against the world?¡± Yan randomly said. The three of them looked at him but said nothing. ¡°That young man, his adventures, his crew, his fame, everything about him was legendary. He had a title, people called him the King of the pirates. I want that same thing, for people to remember me for many, many, years to come.¡± Yan said. ¡°...Yan¡­ where is this going?¡± Vixen asked curiously. ¡°Many years later, another young man started following in his footsteps to achieve his dream of being King of the pirates. His foes were many, and there were always people who doubted his strength. Yet time and time again he overcame those doubts. If his story continued, i¡¯m sure that he would have became King of the pirates as well.¡± Yan paused for a moment as he gazed down at the map. ¡°Legendary people aren¡¯t born, they are made. And my legend is just beginning.¡± Yan looked up and gazed into Leah¡¯s eyes. ¡°He broke out of the prison that no one else could. I want to destroy the prison that is holding everyone else back.¡± A grin came across his face. ¡°Let''s destroy the shackles that every cultivator fears. We won¡¯t wait for anything, we won¡¯t play it safe. Let''s kill them all.¡±
Welp, after so long of not writing this, some things change. Maybe as I continue writing this, it will go back, or not idk. It is 12/12 today, my goal is to finish this novel by 1/1. Chapter 30 - Strange feeling Chapter 30 ¡°Admin, if I could fight eventually with a Master Sage before with my purple flames, why is it that I could barely kill two of them with my current strength?¡± Yan asked. ¡°Yan that is because you upgraded your strength so fast that your body isn¡¯t capable of keeping up.¡± ¡°Is there a way to fix this?¡± Yan asked curiously. ¡°Not really, you can just wait it out. Two months, give it that much time and your current strength should double, maybe even triple.¡± The admin told Yan. ¡°Two months is a long time.¡± Yan complained. ¡°Two months is short. Legends aren¡¯t created overnight, it takes time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but still doesn¡¯t explain my stamina.¡± ¡°Thats your fault, train harder. It is easier to control a power inside you than control something that you know nothing about.¡± Yan sighed as he opened his eyes. He still couldn¡¯t accept it. In all the novels he read before, there was nothing stated about side effects. Main Characters being weakened because they upgraded their strength too fast? That couldn¡¯t be true. Yan walked around the ship until he came to the cultivation room. He found Dex and Vixen both going through the cultivation books. Dex wanted to increase his strength and be useful as fast as possible. Vixen wanted to be able to protect herself. He didn¡¯t say anything as he left. He thought about putting his two books inside that room as well, but opted not to. Even if he could barely cultivate, they were still useful to him. Besides, it reminded him of that old man. Yan wanted to pay him another visit, but that would have to wait for a few months. When he did meet him again, Yan would make him join his crew.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Yet, there was an even urgent matter that needed to be taken care of first. That was his crew. As they continue on their travels, they will come across even stronger foe. Leah might be able to handle herself, but Dex and Vixen more than likely will fail. They both needed an upgrade, and fast. The original goal was to find an alchemist, someone who could help increase their potential. The alliance can wait a little longer, but an alchemist cannot. Dex, the poison expert, Vixen the seductress/temporary cook, Leah the auctioneer/navigator, and Yan the captain. There were still more spots to fill, not to mention he needed more combat personnel. One cannot simply be the pirate king by himself, he needs a strong crew backing him up. Lucky in the next town there is an auction house that Leah¡¯s family owns. She said that there were many alchemist coming to the auction house to sell their pills, maybe they would find one. As Yan walked around the ship, he couldn¡¯t shake the feeling that someone was watching him. Not anyone on the ship, but someone else. With his enhanced vision he could easily track anyone, yet this person could not be found. He thought that he was just being too cautious, but his gut was telling him something. ¡°Leah, that island over there.¡± Yan told her as he pointed his finger in a direction. ¡°Stop there for a moment.¡± Leah seemed like she wanted to ask a question, but Yan assured her that there was no need to worry. The island was oddly shaped, it looked like a crescent moon. Soon the ship arrived above the island and Yan descended downwards. Whatever this feeling was, he knew it was not directed at the others. Only towards himself. They wanted a fight, then he would show them one. Yan turned his head around casually for a moment but still didn¡¯t see anyone. He decided to walk deeper into the island. It was only for a split moment, but he saw it. Two eyes appeared in the air in front of him, but shortly disappeared. Those azure eyes, he was sure that they belonged to the person watching him. But why did they let him see those eyes?
Finals are over! Short chapter. Will only make short stories from now on, long stories probably won''t suit me. Releasing... releasing... the next chapter soon.. Yes, I have an idea where i''m going with this. Funny how I had a plot written out for these chapters, but when writing it they went in a different direction. Will do a Mass release on certain days, you guys can probably figure those days out. Thinking about keeping it simple again, no need for all the ''mysteries''. Pace of this story will more than likely increase, got things that need to be covered. Debating over maximum crew members, might go 6 or 10. Idk, but somewhere along those lines. Ugh... all I have for now... still thinking about stuff. Chapter 31 - A God Chapter 31 In front of Yan was a small child, no more than ten years old. Blonde hair, and pale skin. Yan could see a wound on the small childs chest. He didn¡¯t expect to find a child while he walked through the island. But when he looked at this child, the aura around him was intense. Blue energy was surrounding him and it covered a lot of space. This energy was more than anyone Yan has encountered so far. The small child opened his eyes and looked in Yan¡¯s direction. Yan could felt cold when that child looked at him. He didn¡¯t know why, but this may have been the first time he couldn¡¯t take a step forward. ¡°To think the one to sense me was a mortal? No¡­ a hybrid?¡± The small child said. ¡°Who are you, and I am not a hybrid.¡± Yan replied. ¡°I can see the flickers of energy soaring through your body, yet you don¡¯t possess much Qi. Where i¡¯m from, we call your types hybrids. Granted, there was only one before you.¡± ¡°That didn¡¯t answer my question, who are you?¡± Yan asked once more but in a more serious tone. ¡°I am god¡­ Ignel.¡± A real god? Yan couldn¡¯t be too sure if this kid was telling the truth or lying. If he was a god, that would explain how he had such an air around him. But if this kid was a god, why was he down here in this realm? The heavens and earth are separate, there is a way to cross over as long as you ascend to godhood. But, as for a god coming to earth, there was no such thing. ¡°And, why are you down here?¡± Yan asked. ¡°I was banished.¡± He said blunlty. ¡°You were banished to the earth? Aren¡¯t gods suppose to be almighty and powerful?¡± ¡°Ha, gods are like mortals. We are nothing in face of our Sire, just like you mortals are nothing compared to cultivators.¡± Ignel said with a light laugh. ¡°Banished to this place. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have killed the whole lot of them. And to think, as time ticks, my strength diminishes.¡± There was a moment of silence before Ignel spoke again. ¡°How about we help each other out?¡± Yan¡¯s interest was piqued. It is not everyday that you come across a god that would help you out. ¡°What do you need?¡±This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°Smart kid if you disagreed I would have killed you in an instant. As you can see, i¡¯m not in much of a shape to move. I just need certain items to cure this blasted wound and I should be able to slowly regain my strength. Then i¡¯ll need help of an inscription master to help me lift this dreaded curse. The body of a small child? How dare they? This is worse than death itself. To contain me, Ignel in the body of a child¡­ Do these things, and i¡¯ll help you solve your current dilemma.¡± Ignel expalined. ¡°What delima?¡± ¡°I called you a hybrid, but your body is currently unstable am I correct? The hybrid before could be considered perfect, I happen to know a way to help you stabilize your power. I guarantee that once you do that, you¡¯ll be unbeatable under the heavens. Naturally, second to me.¡± Yan crossed his arms, ¡°What makes you think I couldn¡¯t just leave you here after you stabilize my power?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not stupid kid, I won¡¯t do anything unless you sign a Soul Contract with me. That way, if you break your word, your soul will shatter and you¡¯ll instantly die. But even then, do you really think you could just escape here?¡± As Ignel said that, a golden light shined over Yan¡¯s body. It felt as if his whole body was being cleansed. From bone to flesh, everything inside of him felt like it was being made new. It was a pleasant feeling for him. The light lasted no more than one minute before it disappeared. A small crystal ball appeared in Ignel¡¯s hand. Yan knew what it was, he had a good feeling that, that was the Soul Contract Ignel talked about. ¡°To think, the person who sensed my presence would be a mortal. Either he has a strong perception, or the cultivators in this realm are all trash.¡± Ignel thought to himself as he started standing up. ¡°The contract has been made, I made it while I helped you with your delmina. Let''s go, i¡¯ve been stuck on this island for sixty years already.¡± Yan didn¡¯t like the pace Ignel was going, Yan was being drawn into it. It was not good for him to get caught up in this guy''s pace. ¡°Don¡¯t look so down kid, I just want to go home and get revenge. This world means nothing to me, and I could care less about your goals. So don¡¯t look like that.¡± As Ignel said that, he was already in front of Yan. Yan was able to track him, but even then Ignel seemed like he only took one step to reach him. He couldn¡¯t believe it, was this the speed of a god? ¡°Should I fly us up, or should you?¡± Ignel asked with a slight grin on his face. ¡°Don¡¯t act so arrogant, if you could fly out of here you would have done so long ago. What was the point of waiting around here until now?¡± Yan asked. ¡°I was banished to this island, therefore I couldn¡¯t leave. But due to the soul contract you could say our faiths are tied together now, therefore I am no longer bound here.¡± As Yan was going to ask something else, Ignel placed his hand on Yan¡¯s arm. A spark flashed past his eyes, and like a thunderstorm was coming black clouds appeared in the sky. With a giant Boom, it struck the Red Dawn pirates ship. Leah, Vixen, and Dex rushed to the sound only to see a dust of smoke. Leah placed her hand in front of the two letting them know they should say back. She had never felt such tremendous energy before, even her grandfather couldn¡¯t emit it. She wanted to doubt that this energy belonged to an Immortal, but she knew it had to. ¡°Who are you?¡± She asked. There was a small silence as the dust dissipated revealing two figures. ¡°God¡­ Ignel.¡± The young blond child said. Chapter 32 - Mother Chapter 32 Mother ¡°Don¡¯t you dare touch me!¡± ¡°Do you know who I am?¡± ¡°You are just courting death! I might not be able to stop you, but..¡± ¡°Why me? Why must I give birth to this bastards child?¡± ¡°Aww, its a boy! A boy, let me hold my child.¡± ¡°Yan¡¯er, come let mother tell you a story.¡± ¡°Yan¡¯er, when you grow up you must please your wife.¡± ¡°Yan¡¯er, one day we¡¯ll go home.¡± ¡°Yan¡¯er¡­ Yan¡¯er? Where are you?¡± ¡°You vile devil in human skin, what have you done to my child?¡± ¡°Unable¡­ what do you mean unable to cultivate? Why!? He is just a child! I¡¯ll kill you!!¡± ¡°Let me go! I swear to the heavens, even if I die today, I will haunt you in your sleep.¡± ¡°Yan¡¯er¡­ mother loves you¡­¡± Countless scenes passed through her head as she remember all that happened up to her death. Tears streamed down her face, and as it touched the ground. She woke. She was quite beautiful, long brown hair that reached her mid back, and light brown skin with hazel eyes. Males couldn¡¯t help but fawn over her, and women couldn¡¯t help but envy her. Yet, she was a pure soul at heart. The first thing she did was glance around. She was sure she died, there was no mistaking it, she did die. But she is still alive, still breathing. How did this happen? ¡°Awoke are we?¡± A hoarse voice called out. She turned around and saw an elderly woman at the door. One could tell that she was once beautiful, but now her age has caught up to her. Which could be shown by the wrinkles on her face. ¡°Mother? I¡­ how did you find me?¡± She asked. ¡°It took a while and to be honest I doubted I would ever find you. Someone put a cloaking enchantment on you, but as time past it weakened and I was able to find you. Yet, when I arrived I didn¡¯t think that they would try to kill you. Lucky you swallowed the Queen¡¯s soul when you were young, so instead of your soul being killed it was the Queens. A second chance, pretty amazing isn¡¯t it?¡±Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. ¡°Mother¡­ I have something to tell you¡­¡± She said in a soft voice. She was afraid at what her mother would do if she found out, but she needed to tell her anyways. ¡°I have another child. A young boy, I don¡¯t know if he is still alive. Can you find him?¡± She asked. Her mother''s face darkened when she heard that. For heaven''s sake, her daughter conceived another child and by someone outside of her marriage? If news spread then this would be horrible. ¡°Listen, I will help you find your child, but do you remember the arrangement we had? If you ever had a boy, he would marry one of Jun Wang''s daughters.¡± ¡°Yes, I remember. But¡­¡± She was about to speak but her mother stopped her. ¡°You should know what kind of bloodline they carry. Inside them is the blood of the first immortal, and your father is his disciple. One of the six immortals. Now, even if I do not act against them, what about your father? He¡¯ll burn that whole place until nothing is left but ash. And he will continue to do it until his anger dwells. Listen to me well, this child, you must never let others find out that he belongs to another.¡± Her mother explained to her. The elderly woman came to her daughter and placed her hand over her daughter''s heart. ¡°A mother shares a strong bond with their child. As long as he doesn¡¯t have a cloaking enchantment on him as well, I can find him.¡± As she spoke a light blue light shined over her daughter''s chest. ¡­.. ¡°Burn to ash, Flame Commandment!¡± Yan shouted as a Golden ball of flames engulfed the whole sect. A chill ran down his spine. Once again it felt like someone was watching him. It felt like it was the hundredth time, and he was tired of it. His strength was more stable than before, he had to admire the power of Ignel. This wouldn¡¯t be possible if it wasn¡¯t due to him stabilizing his strength. Now he was even greater than before. His name shall spread even further after this, the world shall know who did this. Fear would be struck in the hearts of many. The alliance would be after him. He wanted them to come, to chase him. Let them put a bounty on his head, he wanted them to. ¡­¡­¡­. ¡°He¡¯s been found.¡± She said in a slightly cold tone. From her mother''s voice, she could instantly tell that she was not happy with the results. What was going on with her child? Was he hurt? Captured? Turned into a slave? Thinking about him made her heartbeat speed up. She couldn¡¯t take it, she needs to know. ¡°Mother, speak where is he? What is he doing?¡± Her mother grabbed her shoulders and looked her directly in her eyes. ¡°Listen, this child is something else. Does he realize the harm he is doing? What we worked hard to build, he wants to tear it down. We must find him and stop him, otherwise the only thing that will be left is a thousand pieces of him spread across the nine seas.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not making any sense!¡± ¡°He is trying to destroy the alliance child! Do you realize what your father did to build the alliance? Do you realize why it was set up in the first place? There are things in this world that matters more than you and I. If we don¡¯t stop him, grandson or not, your father will most definitely kill him. And I cannot let that happen.¡± She replied in a hurried voice. ¡°Destroying the alliance? Why¡­ no, Yan¡¯er would never do such a thing. He doesn¡¯t even have that much potential to cultivate. Even if he did, how could he even compare to a Sage? With a flick of their finger, they could easily turn Yan¡¯er to dust. So tell me, how could he destroy the alliance who has as many Sage realm cultivators as the sky has clouds?¡± She asked. Her mother could only shake her head. ¡°That is what we need to find out.¡± As their conversation of Yan continued on for another minute or two, the door opened up. ¡°Grandmother, who are yo¡­¡± Chapter 33 - Inscription Master Chapter 33 - Inscription Master ¡°Are you positive that he is here?¡± Dex questioned Leah who was standing out in the open. ¡°Yes, I do not like it when you question me Dex.¡± She told him in a slightly cold tone. Dex shrugged his shoulder, ¡°Well it is not like we are wandering around looking for someone who you won''t give us a description of. I mean that seems fishy if you ask me.¡± ¡°Shut it, you¡¯ve been complaining since we first arrived here.¡± Vixen butted in. ¡°Do your followers always behave like this?¡± Ignel asked Yan. They were both following behind the other three, it seemed as if they did not want to be associated with them. Yan gave him a slight smile but said nothing. ¡°You¡¯re only siding with her because you two are the same, both girls! Yan, Ignel, you two side with me on this matter!¡± Dex told them. ¡°Sister Leah, just give the child a description of the master maybe then he will stop his crying.¡± Vixen asked Leah. Leah sighed deeply. ¡°Inscription Masters usually wear an orange robe, but his is slightly different because he is one of the few sixth stage Inscription Masters. So his robe is embroidered with a sky dragon on it. He is old, but that does not mean he is weak he looks around forty and has dark purple hair¡­¡± ¡°So that guy over there?¡± Dex asked as he pointed towards the alley. They turned their attention towards the alley he was pointing at only to find a wounded man leaning against the wall. ¡°My god! Who on earth would dare harm an inscription master? Even my grandfather wouldn¡¯t do such a thing!¡± Leah was shocked at the sight. They rushed towards the man that was leaning against the wall. His left arm was missing, and some parts of his skin was purple. They could tell that he was poisoned with something. Yan clicked his tongue in annoyance as he could hear footsteps coming towards them. ¡°You dare to kill an inscription master!? I¡¯ll have your neck for this!¡± A cold voice called out from the open. The inscription master glanced at Yan and grabbed his hand. Yan felt something warm on his hand as he pulled his hand away in a hurry.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. The inscription master lost all his strength as he fell to the ground. He was dead. Yan glanced at his hand that the inscription master grabbed and he couldn¡¯t believe that there was a crow tattoo on it. A crowd was blocking their way out of the alley. It seemed that the person that was trying to put the blame on them gathered a crowd around him as well. This set up, it could not be a coincidence, he was sure that someone did this on purpose. Maybe it didn¡¯t have to be them that came here first, but whoever found the inscription master would take the blame. Yet, they did not know who they were dealing with. Yan would take the blame for this? His crew would be executed? ¡°M-master!¡± A voice called out as a twenty something year old male came forward. His long black hair reached his lower back, and his facial features could be on par with that of a woman''s. Due to the tone of his voice however you could tell that this was not a woman. His movements were quick as he knelt down beside his master and grabbed onto the man''s hand. ¡°No, master you cannot die! You cannot die yet master!¡± He was foolish to think that his master would wake up just because he said he can¡¯t die. He felt pain, a fire was burning in his stomach and nothing could stop it from spreading! He glared at Yan and the gang, ¡°You did this!¡± ¡°Like hell we did this!¡± Dex spoke up. ¡°So you dare to say an official from the alliance would lie? Do you know what that could cost you?¡± The man that spoke up earlier asked. ¡°So its the alliance again is it? Just when I thought things couldn¡¯t get any better you show up.¡± Dex replied. The officials eye twitched as he listened to Dex speak to him that way. He was an official from the alliance, people bow down to him. When he walks the streets people know to make way. His status might not be as great as a sect master, but it was still enough to have face in town. He was a middle ranked master sage, yet this child in front of him dared to talk back? He would show him! As he went to move his hand, he felt his arm was on fire. Golden flames appeared on the hand he was about to hit Dex with. He tried to shake them off, put them out, yet they didn¡¯t disappear. ¡°My friend here says we didn¡¯t do it, that means we didn¡¯t do it.¡± Yan said in a cold tone. He glanced down at the inscription masters apprentice, ¡°You, what does this symbol mean?¡± He asked as he showed him the crow tattoo. The apprentice saw the tattoo on Yans hand and got up to take a closer look at it. ¡°Wh-where¡­ how did you get this?¡± He asked. ¡°That is a question you should ask your master. He put it on me before he passed. Now, what does this symbol mean?¡± The apprentice glanced at the official who was gritting his teeth in pain as the flames on his hand were slowly dying down. ¡°You have harmed an alliance official, do you know what that means? Because master gave you that mark, I know you did not kill him, however that is all.¡± He clenched his fist as he turned around. The crowd of people were whispering to each other as they saw what happened to the alliance official. ¡°You are starting a war you should not. Things spread like a fire, it is best if you get out of town before the situation gets out of control.¡± He told them before he left. ¡°So now that he is dead, do you happen to know anymore inscription masters?¡± Dex asked Leah. Yan turned towards Leah and she nodded her head as she left. ¡°Guess i¡¯ll go find us a place to stay.¡± Dex said as he knew they were not leaving. Vixen followed behind him leaving Ignel and Yan. ¡°A murder of an inscription master as soon as we land. I have to say humans are the same as ever. But, you have to find it strange right?¡± Ignel asked Yan. Chapter 34 - Extra hand Chapter 34 - Extra hand It didn¡¯t matter where he went, people constantly gave him glances. His name was not known, but anyone could tell who he was with a single look. His style was different from theres, and the aura he emitted made them keep their distance. Yan stretched his arms as he yawned. ¡°This is how it is to be famous huh?¡± He asked himself before walking into a small shop. It was in the center of the town, but was smaller than the other buildings, if one was not careful you wouldn¡¯t notice it. As Yan entered the shop, a vast amount of patterns were spread across the wall. He approached the counter where a folder was placed. He opened it as his eyes were flooded with information on different inscriptions. He quickly flipped through the pages. There were a total of eight sections, each section contained five or ten types of inscriptions. Every section was divided by rank as well as rarity. Naturally the prices increased for each of these types of inscriptions as well. Yan closed the folder as he walked into the back of the shop. If he came here a few hours before, maybe he could have gotten himself an inscription, but now that flew out of his mind. The inscription master in this town was dead. He was a high ranking inscription master as well, the other inscription apprentices in the town were low ranked. An inscription master is only called ¡®master¡¯ if they are able to make rank 5 inscriptions. Until then, they are called inscription apprentice. Earlier Leah followed the inscription master apprentice. He seemed to know something and Yan wanted to find out what it was. This mark on his hand did not disappear, and it also seemed that this mark meant something. She followed him here, and the sign outside was the one Leah mentioned before they arrived on this island. ¡®Heaven¡¯s Wrath¡¯ was the name. Anyone who had an inscription done here was said to gain a major boost in strength that defied the heavens. As his search ended, he found no sign of the apprentice. This could be a sign that it was time for them to give up and leave. But something told Yan that the apprentice of the inscription master should not be normal. To become a disciple of someone who has the title of ¡®master¡¯ is not simple, thus he must have great talents. As Yan was leaving the shop, he noticed something on one of the tables. It was an unfinished note, or it could have been something else. ¡°When night comes an owl comes out, when day breaks flowers bloom. Yet amidst it all a snake will forever crawl, u¡± Yan recited the words on the note. He could not make his mind about what it meant, and he was not going to spend the time to figure it out either. It was time to leave, Yan decided. He couldn¡¯t waste time trying to find someone. He had plans to do and he was sure that there could be many more inscription masters who would join his crew. Even if he didn¡¯t get one, all would be fine.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. As he opened the door, he couldn¡¯t help but notice the crowd of people at the door. Instantly he could make out that they were from the alliance. The green robes gave them away. Yan raised his eyebrow slightly as he had a grin on his face. ¡°Need something?¡± He asked them in a ice cold tone. An elder stepped forward, his eyes were filled with disgust. He could not believe the nerve of this youngerster in front of him. The air around this elder seemed to disrupt as surges of wind blew past Yans body knocking the hat off of his head. ¡°Yes, your head!¡± He said as he moved. His fist smashed straight into Yan¡¯s head going straight through. The others behind him couldn¡¯t help but laugh. When they heard of what this youth did, they thought he might be a treat but it seems not. They shouldn¡¯t have believed that official, this youth was just too weak. As the elder retracted his hand, he noticed that he did not kill the youth. No blood splattered, his fist felt like it hit a cloud. Forming a hole but doing no damage. Yan¡¯s face reappeared after his fist was retracted. The grin on his face was no gone, and a second later the elder in front of him body was sliced in half. The six others behind that elder couldn¡¯t believe their eyes. They were sure that Yan had died. They even checked his cultivation themselves, and the male was only a mortal. Such a thing should not have happened. They refused to believe such a thing as weapons appeared in each of the hands. Before they could make a move, their bodies collapsed. Six small holes in each of their heads, as six bodies laid motionless on the ground. Yan placed his hat back on his head with one hand as he blew the smoke off his finger with the other. This town was bigger than the previous ones he went to, so naturally the population was higher as well. Yan noticed that there were a few people passing by that noticed this scene. He was leaving this place anyways, so he could care less. As Yan started walking away, he sensed something strange as he reached into his pocket and pulled out two vivre cards. There were two small burn marks on them both, it seems that they just started to burn. Yan looked up to the sky as he couldn¡¯t help but remember those two people. He wondered what sort of trouble they got into. It seems that it was time to return. He placed the vivre cards back into his pocket. As he turned his head and spotted the inscription masters apprentice standing behind him. ¡°You again.¡± Yan said as he turned to face him. ¡°It seems that you did not heed my warning, now look what happened.¡± The apprentice said as he glanced down at the dead bodies. ¡°Why run when I have the strength needed to protect myself. The only time you should run is if you are out of options.¡± Yan replied. ¡°Then it seems you are my last option.¡± The apprentice spoke. From the way he was speaking, Yan seemed to understand that he was in some sort of trouble. Otherwise he would not be here right now. ¡°You have already killed them, so that means you are not scared of the alliance. I have a favour to ask of you.¡± The apprentice said. ¡°Those things are not cheap, and my price could be quite high.¡± The youth produced a golden ring as he held it up and showed it to Yan. ¡°This is my master''s ring, it has enough money to last ten lifetimes, precious resources, and even his own research.¡± Yan shook his head. ¡°I do not need money, but I could use an extra hand. So, are you willing to become one of my extra hands? But before that.¡± Yan looked at the alliance members bodies. ¡°This is a normal occurrence, and in the future the alliance will be no more. So I ask again, are you willing to be one of my extra hands?¡± Update~ Er, I''ve been in a writing slump kind of and working. Anyways, I have not written a chapter for this in so long, and the chapters I do have I do not know where they were going. Therefore, I''ve been debating on updating this novel or not. It will be short still if I do finish it around 75-120 chapters. So no, this is not on the ''dropped'' status yet, I''ve just been thinking whether or not I should continue on writing. Let me know if you guys want me to continue, not like this was the greatest story just something I did for fun.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. If it gets enough support, I''ll write more. However, you won''t see a new chapter until I''ve finished writing volume 2 of my other novel. Since I do not want to get idea''s mixed up, and then I will have to come up with a schedule for releases as well. Thanks for reading! Not a Chapter~ I don''t eve know how longs its been since i''ve last written this, but coming back to it would be very difficult. However, due to popular support I decided to just write another fiction with one piece. It''s not a serious story or anything, just for fun. Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road.
